Consumers rule when it comes to buying, look at the sale of EU items which IIRC has plummeted by 50%+.

How is it a red herring if the food isn't labled which iirc is part of America's terms, that the stuff isn't labled

It always seems to be an irrelevance, a distraction or of little importance though...
