Comment on YSK: Regulations don't exist because governments like them...

The tweet itself limits its scope to food safety regulations specifically. The title of this lemmy post was condensed for brevity, which might create the impression that it’s trying to make a larger point about regulations in toto. But I figured I could get away with it because I figured that surely people would read the tweet before commenting.

I know, but pretty much every comment on this point about regulation isn’t just discussing food regulations, their talking about regulations as a whole. Also my point about some regulations not helping can still be applied to foods.

I mean look at the stuff they say about ketchup:

The consistency of the finished food is such that its flow is not more than 14 centimeters in 30 seconds at 20 °C when tested in a Bostwick Consistometer in the following manner: Check temperature of mixture and adjust to 20±1 °C.

www.ecfr.gov/current/title-21/…/section-155.194 - section B, part 1.

the flow of ketchup does not matter in the slightest to anyone
