"We don't need just a list of ingredients. We should have a list of all the consequences of conventional farming and how much they cost," said Paul-Morandini. "The pollution of soil, water, health and environment all has a price that is paid by consumers and society."

Hard to disagree with this. Profits in large part are displaced costs; displaced onto others now and in the future. In some cases, it is not even the farmers making the profits either.

all harmful products are hidden, especially in Japanese labeling. in japan everything is made to make sure the customer does not discover the truth. Organic markets and shops are almost inexistent. ONLY the word OISHI is king here...

We buy organic wines when available.

A full list of all ingredients also helps allergy sufferers.

If a producer isn't being honest on the label, don't eat or drink the product. The UKG blocked GE warnings on food products and as a result, I won't be eating anything that might have GE ingredients in, or could be GE. So that will mean buying organic, or buying fruit and vegetables grown in Scotland (to date) or the EU, but not in England.
