Defining a standard isn't that simple, you'd have to decide:
1) what all qualifies, every avocado type, are there variants that should be excluded, etc.
2) how pure is pure enough, when you're dumping truckloads of stuff into a hopper some other stuff is always along for the ride
3) what if pure xxx oil has some problems in processing or with shelf stability, etc. - what do you allow and what not
None of these questions are easy to answer so by default standards don't exist until there's a big push
- MagnumOpus 5y agoNone of these have a single right answer, but all of them have sensible ranges of answers. (And allowing soybean oil to be sold as pure avocado oil is not in that range. In case that was in doubt.) “Allowing the perfect to be the enemy of the good” is a recipe to not get anything done.
- thaumasiotes 5y ago> (And allowing soybean oil to be sold as pure avocado oil is not in that range. In case that was in doubt.) Yes, and for that reason what those oils are doing is already against the law. Identifying a current practice that is currently illegal is a weird way to argue for making other practices illegal too. It suggests that (1) the first thing will keep happening; and (2) so will the other things. You didn't have a problem with the law to begin with; how is changing it supposed to help?
