    Then you should be able to choose not to buy it, just as people should be able to choose to buy it.

    I think with sufficiently informed consent people should be able to buy raw milk that was sitting in a moldy bucket for two weeks.

      Great concept. This requires regulation to force sellers to put all ingredients on packaging, and to test that those are accurate. Otherwise sellers lie and put chalk in bread.

        If the buyers don’t trust the seller, or just want to know the information, they can refuse to buy any product without ingredients listed, trusted quality control stamp, date etc. Or they can decide to just blindly trust a seller if they want to. Let me buy my cheap chalk bread if I prefer / don’t care.

          Because words have common meanings. You can’t say “contains milk” and have that be almond. There needs to be definitions of what is what.

      I agree. If you want to buy my piss in a bag, and we trust each other, no one should possess the power to stop our trade.

      But I don’t get the example you provided, since am already able to buy cheese in the shop!?

      Yeah but then you’ve got some of those same regarded people filling up a baby bottles and feeding it to their kids. And then pikachu face there’s dead babies from bacteria infections.
