What? I meant as individual consumers. There's a whole lot more to food safety than whether it smells OK. We have regulations so end consumers don't have to study the history of every company involved in the retail chain or risk illness. Similarly, we can have regulations to prevent customers from unknowingly buying artificially unrepairable objects.
- restalis 10y agoAs I said, as individual consumers we had a lot to learn about what is safe to eat. It just happened as we grew up. We learned that knowledge from others instead of tasting everything and see what happens. The food culture however, was developed before us and now it's mature enough to be, more or less, taken for granted. This can not be said to be similar to other areas like that of digital gadgets, developed only recently and for which the community lacks common knowledge.
