Label ALL FOODS with country of origin

Created by E.F. on August 14, 2012

Today, Country Of Origin Labeling (COOL) is a requirement signed into American law under Title X of the Farm Security and Rural Investment Act of 2002 (known as the 2002 Farm Bill). This law requires retailers to provide country-of-origin labeling for fresh beef, pork, and lamb. The program exempts processed meats. The United States Congress passed an expansion of the COOL requirements on 29 September 2008, to include more food items such as fresh fruits, nuts and vegetables.

This is not enough. When people read "Distributed by xxxx - USA", some think that the food is coming from the USA, this is misleading and the country of origin should be added.
