- cma 7y agoMaybe they are advocating companies pay the liability, raising the price and incentivizing safer practices. Without some kind of labeling laws saying how many estimated to die per strawberry, you’d have to do a research project on every brand.
- ceejayoz 7y agoNot everyone; Farmers' markets and CSAs are available, and often quite popular. That said, this is where regulation comes in.
- Red_Leaves_Flyy 7y agoYou can blame the customer all you want but you're only deluding yourself. Marketers, criminal farmers, pro business regulations, nonexistent law enforcement, and an economy that favors short term profits over long term sustainability are among some of the reasons why these things continue. It's not the customer buying random strawberries at a grocer that's the problem here.
- fock 7y agoyeah, because there's no way to tell about labour conditions in the supermarket... (where most of us unfortunately have to shop) I would really like to have shop to tell production cost/per unit like they have to do with price/unit in the EU. Not gonna happen with "Big"-Ag writing paychecks to the MPs though...
