If you have to mandate your product, your product sucks. Plain and simple.
How do you feel about mandating a label that differentiates your product from other products that are exactly the same? Seems to me that your product might suck if you need a label that trashes the competition.
Can you make an argument against MCOOL but not trash the competition, while defending mandated ethanol with does have MLOOL right up to the pump? The Cenex paperwork here states where the fuel came from, ethanol and petroleum.
Otherwise your argument that a 1/10,000,000 of a cent set of 3 letters is far different than the mandated purchase of a product...that has mandatory tracking already.
MCOOL has already been tried, tested, and shown to have no impact on packers and actually have a massive benefit to both consumers and the producers; US all the way beef rose to incredible demand levels and foreign demand fell. The only reason why it is not still a law is the spineless US government fell to the crybaby Canadian government, because surprise, US consumers want a US product or at the bare minimum the option to buy.
Ethanol didn't work in the 1970s so 30 years later you mandated the sale of it to the support of no one then never advertised or defended it and are now flabbergasted that no one likes your product or corn farmers themselves.
At least the American Cowboy and Rancher still carries their long held reputation, which is generally positive in the public's eye. They're even having a rodeo in DC, what does the government and people do for you that isn't a blatant advertisement?
Even the American Roughneck has a decent reputation, as does the pipeliner.
