I wonder if I am the only one who finds irony in today's newspaper

One article focuses on food packaging labels while the other is about "shrinking ice disrupting the Arctic ecosystem." Chances are the government will elect to concentrate on food labeling while the Arctic ice melts away. As the climate warms our ability to grow food will be impacted but yet we micromanage people on issues that are irrelevant. Citizens are not fools. We are capable of making our own decisions about what to eat and what not to eat. We are fortunate in this country, most of us, to have the luxury to decide. What we need from government is to focus on the bigger picture. We need effective environmental legislation and policy if we are going to successfully protect the environment. It is time the government had the courage to do what is right.
