One thing people forget is that it was Big Food that wanted regulations.

After the book came out, it was almost impossible for American companies to sell their products overseas. Teddy knew that slapping a government label attesting to quality would mean that American companies would be able to make big profits.

The U.S. won’t need regulations once the last of its trade partners gives up on it. We’ll be free to eat all the domestic lead and asbestos our dear masters deem necessary to feed us.

[–] Dagwood222@lemm.ee 11 points 3 months ago

No /s, because that's what MAGats are already saying.
