You can’t see, or refuse to see, that the government intervention in the free market has already taken place.
I wrote a whole book about it, idiot, because I SEE where it leads, long before you ever will. You're braiding the rope to wrap around your neck. So get used to crawling on all fours serf.
You’ve gone off on all sorts of irrelevant tangents when all that is required is a simple disclosure about how food products were produced.
I'll bet you are perfectly happy to buy a great many food products that you have no idea how they are made. Ever heard of a "secret recipe"?
We’re not talking about car paint formulations, but mostly about whether the corn used to make the tortilla chips was GMO or not.
Paint can kill or injure you, just like bad food can. You can't see what is in it. That GMO is likely to be a proprietary product.
Producers spend millions lobbying to escape any labeling requirement they think might cause some group of consumers to refrain from buying their products.
So what? They paid many more millions to produce those products and don't want people to steal them. Your option is to pay them what it is worth to tell you what you want to know about the product when you buy it. You want to get government to take that information by force and give it to you for free.
And, yes, food producers know whether they are using GMO ingredients in foods that contain many ingredients.
Insipid comment.
And, no how much you dissemble and deny, perfect knowledge as to product and price are requirements of a free market.
No, it isn't. Trade secrets are part of any free market because they are a matter of PROPERTY RIGHTS. You don't like private property rights, so you build a government capable of forcing you to tell them everything about what you do and where you go and who you do business with and how you do it. Then you sell yourself as a "conservative."
Pathetic.
Lol, now you resort to childish name calling. And there have been countless books published that are filled with nonsense. So what if you wrote a book.
You are one of the most illogical posters I've encountered here. You constantly take off on irrelevant tangents. I'll say it one more time and end this pointless exchange:
Knowledge as to price and product are requirements of a free market. Accurately describe the product and let the potential consumers decide what they want to buy, or not.
Some folks just can't stand freedom.
