“And you ~Never~ really rebuted my arguments, with all due respect, Duke!”
You made no arguments. You merely asserted that: “Obviously the market could regulate health better than the government...”
That is nothing more than assuming the solution. Try making an argument next time.
I did make a point (an argument) and you conveniently forget, BTW that statement was from 2 posts ago-before I make my argument the second time-
1) People aren’t stupid.
2) Per the laws of supply and demand, anyone providing a qaulity product in a free market will have a thriving business, anyone producing a poor product will suffer in their sales.
3) In a market where there is freedom of information, knowledge of a bad (unhealthy) product will be punished by lack of customer support
3b) Their competitors that provide a sanitary food product will gain in business and take the customers the first business would have
4)Therefore it benefits business economically to maintain sanitary practice.
5) The job of clean and health food has been done, without the need for government ‘watchdog’ agency
Lets actually answer this time instead of trying to win this argument without actually saying anything substantive, and by avoidind the issue.
