Further proof that the market works. Green onions from Mexico are now seen as an inferior good.

But the problem is that the politicians that imposed NAFTA on our market knew the sanitary standards of Mexico were and are inferior to those of the US and yet still forced this dangerous product into our markets in the name of "free trade".

How many Americans will have to die to show the market works?

Think of the risks to school age kids when the government decides to cut costs and put this fecal-contaminated food in the lunches of the children. Parents might be able to protect them somewhat by feeding them at home --- but as long as there are no standards on the food that's brought in, there will be more and more outbreaks of this and many other diseases.
