I don't think it would take days!
I look at the authors of studies, their affiliations, and who funded the studies. Based off those variables I categorically discard many and only read those authored by reliable individuals who are published in peer reviewed journals.
For instance, I wouldn't read a labeling initiativd from 'x' state, but I may read a peer reviewed journal which the labeling initiative may have made reference to.
All the same I understand that not everyone has time or inclination to do so.
yet may I suggest:
(1) it seems a little odd to participate in a discussion (like an online forum) and tell someone you disagree with them and then say you don't want to discuss why you disagree.
(2) if you don't have time to become familiarized with the subject and recognize that then why bother to post that you disagree just seems odd.
Anyways, I appreciate your civility and candor.
I'm not against labeling but I would like people to know the reality of what they are asking for isn't as simple as slapping a sticker on.
