> Can we at least agree that technology like internet communication and cheap testers can at least take some of the power away from the government? Can we also agree that “crooks” or at least incompetents will helm every government agency eventually?
Absolutely I agree. I don’t think our positions are too different.
well ok, just realize the reality might be worse than you realize. For example the government did spend considerable amounts of money trying to detect grapefruit juice mixed into orange juice. I’m sure money was spent on detecting pesticides as well, but remember that once you allow yourself to eat foods grown or prepared overseas, then you have jumped off the proverbial cliff. There is no enforcement at the factory and government here, with all the testing in the world, can’t save you. But it will quickly shut down a local mom and pop if they don’t pay their inspection fee.
