You want the government to prosecute a private company for fibbing to another private entity? What a statist you are!

Straw man argument. Part of the Constitutional enumerated powers of the federal government is the establishment of courts. States, by their nature, have the power to establish courts to punish fraud.

So if I sit down with my friends at a game of poker and bluff them out of the pot, you want the government to come after me for fraud. What a statist you are! Why should a private entity be governed by a another private entity on the definition of "extra virgin"? Since the feds usually aren't doing anything productive anyway, just have them define it and then no need for fraud civil trials all across the land because now there is no doubt what "extra-virgin" means, it's been defined by our representatives.

By the way I purchase EVOO and would like to know these companies are honest when they put EV on the lable...it's damned expensive.
