USDA Plain Writing Act

Did anyone here know this existed? They enacted it in 2010, during Obama's term I believe, and have updated it yearly since then.

I for one appreciate their efforts. What do you all think of this?

It's a sound idea, but what a shame that every other agency doesn't do the same. We could all probably benefit from it. Maybe. Well, I still have a problem with how they define certain things like cage-free eggs for example. It paints the picture of chickens with plenty of space which isn't what happens at all in practice. So the plain language law would be even better if they also applied reasonable definitions.

the plain language law would be even better if they also applied reasonable definitions.

Even if they did use reasonable definitions - how many consumers even know what the definitions are?
