Simplify product-packaging labels in the United States by amending the Fair Packaging and Labeling Act (FPLA).

Created by D.P. on October 31, 2015

Are you tired of being forced to learn a clunky jumble of measurements lacking any coherent interrelationship? A cubic decimeter of water is one liter and has a mass of one kilogram. Easy! Passing this amendment would help Americans learn the simplicity of coherent measuring and permit manufacturers to choose either dual or metric labeling. No producer, packager or store would be required to take any action or incur any cost based on this amendment. Make it easier for students to become familiar with measuring units used in science classes and for U.S. companies to sell American-made products in metric-only environments, helping our economy. And you, the consumer, would be able to quickly compare items for best prices with base-ten units, drastically simplifying your shopping experience.
