Problem: How do we as consumers know we are getting real, high quality olive oil and not fake, adulterated oil? We have limited information on what is in the bottle except what the label claims. I believe a lot of the stores don’t even have the means to verify what they are selling is actually in the bottle. There is a massive imbalance in information to the disadvantage of the customer side of the transaction.
Seems like only the stuff from California is good.
The economy and the free market works from supply and demand.
If there’s a demand for information of what is in the bottle, then at some point the supplier’s own self interest will cause him to put that information on the bottle if he wants sales and income.
If there’s a demand for private verification of that information, then someone somewhere will see a profit and provide private verification, which would probably raise the cost, but the consumer will have to decide if the added cost is worth the valid info.
That’s how the marketplace free from gov’t interference works. Once you get unconstitutional gov’t agencies involved who only care about their own interests, not yours, you get deception at the highest level which is what you have today.
Freedom isn’t perfect but it’s way ahead of whatever’s in second place.
