Spices. Really? Is that all?

I've heard of labels on food and cosmetics being vague, but what I saw this morning takes that to a whole new level. This morning, I got into a conversation with my mom about food, and it started when my throat began to hurt after eating a bunch of these garden vegetable Wheat Thins. I looked at the ingredients. The fact that it had a lot of artificial crap is no surprise to me, but my family buys a lot of that, because it's cheaper. I think maybe they miss the point when I say that I'd rather eat organic, but then I have no job at the moment, and I'm trying to save my money to get out of here, or something like that. But I noticed that I was having... Certain stomach problems... This morning, before I ate anything, and I think it was something in the pasta I had last night. So I asked her what was in it, and there was a lot of cheese. She also mentioned Italian seasoning, and so I asked her, "What's in the Italian seasoning?" and she gave me the container. I searched for the ingredients and I found them. All it said was "spices". Really? Is that all? Could you maybe be a little more specific!? All it does is make me wonder what the brand has to hide, when all they're willing to put on the label is "spices", of all things! I mean, is there Oregano? Basil? Garlic? It doesn't help that I'm having a bit of intestinal problems this morning when I don't even know what all was in the food I ate! It could have been in the seasonings for all I know! How does the FDA let that shit slide? They need better labeling requirements!
