The same reason that you can't sell food that's sweetened with lead. You can add lead to your own food if you want, just like you can drive a car without airbags.
- waterheater 3y agoYes, keep lead out of food. The comparison is not accurate because the risk-reward profiles of lead-in-food and airbags-in-cars are misaligned. Food is consumed under all circumstances, whereas airbags are only employed during an emergency situation. You're also right that I can drive a car without airbags, but the point is that you can't buy a new car without airbags.
