Sacred Heart University Polling Institute conducted a survey on food and COOL.  The results are not surprising.

*  Nearly 69 percent of the 1,000 Americans polled indicated they check labels for nation of origin, up from 53 percent a year ago, the institute said.
 
*  86 percent agreed with a statement calling for suspension of Chinese imports until China meets U.S. product and food-safety standards.
 
*  87 percent indicated they have confidence in American-made and distributed products and food.
 
*  Fewer than half of Americans surveyed (47 percent) agreed that the United States is doing a good job ensuring imports meet set safety and quality standards.

Sherrod Brown intends to introduce a bill, this fall, that all food should have country of origin labels.
