[Draft]Ban Foods of Unknown Origin

OOC: It's not just the the number of people who get sick that affects things. Panic is very easy to see set in, and rather difficult to stave off. I don't remember anything from this dairy incident in '85 because I was just 3 at the time. Now, the spinach incident when I was working at B&N, if I recall correctly was entirely in spinach shipped across the nation from California. However, even in Pennsylvania, all the spinach was being pulled from every grocery and restaurant because everybody was scared of getting sick. Even when the emergency was declared over, there was very little interest in eating spinach again because people were still scared and suspicious.

OOC: Heh. I love the auld spinach. Luckily I'm not a pretensious twit who eats raw weeds so I cook it first.

OOC: Um, you realize that that could be taken as an offence against forum rules?

OOC: American healthcare is some of the best in the world.

OOC still: Which doesn't help the ones too poor to pay for it, or indeed anyone not insured against everything possible. (You don't need to be a mindreader to know that Finland has universal healthcare and if you're too poor to pay even the low public healthcare costs, the state will pay them for you. Had I lived in USA, undoubtedly I'd have been dead before I ever returned to NS on this account, but that's getting waaaay off-topic.)

Regardless of whether WA nations would be silly enough to not have proper healthcare systems in place, this part of my argument still stands:

An existing resolution, Food and Drug Standards already regulates all food produced in member states, so by necessity this proposal could only affect food produced in non-member nations, which would mean that this proposal cannot touch on the food production itself, as legislating mandates for non-members is not allowed, thus further restricting this proposal to importing such food

Hmm, surely not. AFAIK pretensious means being frugal and unshowy, and acting natural.

Welp.
I'll take that as a "no, this resolution is the worst one I've seen". In the bin.

Read the one to repeal the ban on slavery. It might make you feel better

[Araraukar]

Welp. I'll take that as a "no, this resolution is the worst one I've seen". In the bin.

OOC: It's far from being the worst ever, believe me! Stick around, read other people's drafting threads, and you'll get a better idea of how to construct a resolution. Also, if you have anything specific you'd like to know, there's the Q&A thread.

Hardly. It isn't even the worst proposal of the week. This may actually have some potential.
