[QUOTE="rickyb, post: 5486823, member: 56035"] government is theoretically democracy which is not centralized power. a democratic system would have everyone either directly voting on things OR everyone would get together and decide on something and then elect a representative to carry out the plans. but what we currently have is centralized power in govt and corporations and representatives proposing ideas and corrupted by big money, and everyone are passive consumers and just vote for the representative with the best proposal. unions have never given me a reasonable amount of paid vacation, and ive worked alot of union jobs including hospital. thats why i am skeptical that they have enough power. im not sure what better food regulations there need to be, center for science in the public interest and nutrition action would know. i know theres a list of unsafe chemicals in our food and its on the market, so that should be banned.
