Comment on YSK: Regulations don't exist because governments like them...
witx@lemmy.sdf.org 1 week agoIn your examples you know those things are being added to the milk because it’s in the ingredients, the case OP mentioned you didn’t know. Are you able to see the difference?
And there were many other things added to food besides chalk

Exactly. There are better examples. Chalk is a bad one because it is, technically, edible, and still being used as an additive to this day.

Chalk in OP’s example was being added without people’s knowledge, it doesn’t matter how inoffensive it is. How hard is it to grasp?

Because people are dumb. Chalk is in milk, now, right on the label…even marketed as a feature.
But if you tell that to any random schmuck they either won’t believe you or they’ll be disgusted. And then probably keep drinking it anyway.
And that’s with the information right there on the label.
I’m not trying to downplay the example, but there were far worse atrocities fixed by regulations.

You seem to be going in circles and ignoring my comments.
