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.

I'm still confused how you think denying Prop 37 and refusing to label GMO products are the same.

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.

You managed to post that picture 3 times in 8 minutes. Yet you still avoid the question: If you believe that the free market is better at providing goods and services, why do you make an exception for food labeling? Give a reasoned and logical explanation on why the market will fail to provide this particular function.

I guess it is hard to govern a state or be taken seriously if you're farting all over the place.

Maybe I can write the labels. "Warning, GMO and gluten! You may grow a tail, get lung cancer, and possibly shoot fire out of your ass. You will definitely have severe anal leakage. Check back side for green and orange poke a dot chart that undeniably proves any other random nonsense I may come up with"

Back off topic. Circuit bent Casio just for you Dredge. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
