Who voted - the legislature, or the people?

The people.

After reading "The Loved One" by James Joyce as a teen, I thought nothing
could shock me about Americans.

I'm at a complete loss to understand why supposedly sane people would vote
*against* knowing what their food is made of.

simple, you don't end up knowing what you food is made of, you end up with
long incomprehensible labels and because the manufacturers are terrified of
being sued so everything contains the phrase "may contain nuts".

sue every manufacturer if they have any undeclared gm contamination and
everything will be labeled with 'may contain gm'. This tells you exactly
what?
