Fair enough. So you think the clerk behind the counter knows how everything is prepared?Against information??
I want you to be able to go get whatever information you want.. bug the hell out of people.. demand it of those you do business with... knock yourself out
But the government is not in existence to ensure your salad bar has caloric information, or that Oscar Meyer lists the name of the pig making your bologna, or that there are exactly 74 poppy seeds on your muffin
So your position would be, "if they can't supply you with the information you want, don't buy their stuff. And the free market will determine what information is shared." Am I right?
I get that and I can appreciate your position if I have assessed it correctly.
But in looking back through American history, I've concluded that free market principles alone just haven't done a good enough job. I don't favor burdensome, senseless regulations. But this just makes sense to me.
Do you care how many calories are in a tomato slice? Be honest now.
