I'm still confused how you two think the private sector "using market forces" is supposed to accomplish and replace what the FDA is there to do.

After I gave a couple examples? You'd make a terrible businessman, but don't worry, we still need people to do the manual labor.

Here's a hint of how free market regulation works: Underwriter's Laboratories

Question: If there were two foods, one labeled as non-GMO by the FDA, and one labeled and non-GMO by a reputable testing company, which would you prefer, all other things being equal? If you choose the FDA product, why?

lol, manual labor, ok, I'm not above getting my hands dirty
and I'm no where near being a hippie other guy.

I would choose the FDA because it's the one in the position and the authority to regulate.

Shocking, you'd choose the unaccountable entity that stands to lose nothing if they make a mistake. Any business that accidentally approved a GMO food and labeled it as non-GMO would stand to lose a lot of money if mistakes are made. If the FDA messes up, you can't just stop paying part of your taxes. In fact, such a mistake would likely lead to an increase in funding, as they would claim that they have insufficient resources to do the job.

It's hilarious you think this is how it actually works.

I'd love to hear how you think markets function, if it's not people voluntarily trading their pieces of paper for things they value more. Do you really debate that if a business makes a mistake that angers its customers, that business does not lose money?
