Quote by: lsbskins1  This is not an answer, this is a dodge. How does inspecting meat for ecoli "distort" the market? Is it a distortion of good market practice to require good market practice? Is a market only free if it is free to harm people? And is requiring someone to allocate enough resources to ensure their product is free of harmful agents really "interfering"? |
Certainly, its a good market practice. Selling meat in which people get sick off all the time results in people not buying the meat.
The issue becomes whether the community can afford the distortion in the market. And in the case of meat inspections, it most certainly can.
