On the other hand, if you want organic, grass-fed meat, you can get that at Whole Foods.
The the thing with regulations is that because they apply to everyone, every man and his dog (and his lobbyist) gets to have a say, and you end up with one size fits nobody.
Maybe it's better to avoid regulating any particular standard of quality, and allow people to buy and sell more or less anything they want so long as it's not misrepresented. Dog meat as ground beef is not cool, dog meat as dog meat, maybe that's ok?
- jandrese 10y agoOr the guy at Whole Foods will sell you dog meat and label it organic grass fed beef, because nobody is looking over his shoulder. If your assumption is that nobody is going to try to cheat or cut a corner to make a buck then your system is not going to work in the long run. As your system grows the odds of having an asshole who cheats and ruins it for everybody approaches 1.
