Why is it a requirement that processed foods have all ingredients
listed? It is to protect the consumer, and to make clear to us just
what we are eating. Ingredients are not "trade secrets", and there is still plenty of
competition in the food industry.
It should be a requirement that fracking chemicals are made public,
because it appears that they are profoundly affecting our ground water. If they are
harmless, why is industry so reluctant to disclose
them? Calling the lack of cooperation and disclosure a "trade
secret" is absolutely ridiculous. Surely there is plenty of
competition in the gas industry. "Trade secrets" should not be
allowed when people's health and safety are at stake.
