Do you want to talk about our legal system or food?
Our legal (note; I didn't say justice - justice has nothing to do with it) system is run by and for the trial lawyers. My problem with it is the healthy cut (some put at 50-60%) they take off the top.
On food; the market is being "hollowed out" just like other manufacturing. You may think your Sara Lee cookies or your John Deere tractor are made in the US, but they are just assembled here of Chinese components.
The only remedy for either is buyer knowledge. I'd like to see country of origin marking for products and ingredients.
Great. So when you get poisoned, you can sue the label.
