Overview: "Green" food labels are an idea whose time has come, thanks
largely to a rise in awareness and demands for action in the food marketing
arena on the part of consumers. This report surveys current experience and
thinking on food labelling issues--including descriptions of a number of
existing programs--and considers the viewpoints of the main players:
consumers, industry, and regulators.
