Granted!
However, not when the regulation becomes overbearing and unnecessarily costly and overly bureaucratic and even politicized, like I think it's being in this article.
If some clymer is willing to poison you... That is government's businsess, BIGTIME!!! Consumerism, almost more often than not, gets into the NaziNannyism and consumerist/environmental attorney parasites that I despise with a passion!
There! That was a pretty good, frank discussion. Thanks Willie!
It certainly is a two-edged sword at times. But let's not forget that some of this "consumer protection" regulation also protects honest, legitimate businesses from less than scrupulous competition.
Labeling issues may be mindboggling at times, but as long as people can be confident that the information is accurate and not misleading, it serves a beneficial purpose for all. So long as it doesn't get pervertedly spun around into a government dictated mandate that produces MUST follow a specific process or design of their product, to the EXCLUSION of all other options, I guess I have no problems with it. That is to say, they're still free to produce the "artificial" product if they want, so long as it's labeled as such.
