> lying about tolerances Wat?

You're saying we can't tolerate nonzero amounts. As pointed out, actually doing that would mean no food. Since you brought up the overton window, it sounds like you want to claim we don't tolerate any at all, while actually tolerating it so people can eat. That would be lying.

  Look, if you're correct that there is and will inevitably be minute traces of lead throughout the food supply and you're implying that this is not a reality that can be changed because its basically just how it is on a basically molecular model, than yeah we can't necessarily make it full-blown absolute liabillity. That sure as hell doesn't mean that concessions aren't made on the part of operating companiea to ensure their windfall in removing the biggest threat to their business upon discovery of their future criminal wrong-doing does not being part of their operations. Like how that company in China added some bullshit additive to baby formula that ended killing and maiming a bunch of Chinese babies. The absolute balls firstly, but second, they had lots of splaining to do as if thry were in AbsoluteLiabillityNation, which China's legal system certainly seems to be. Heads rolled off to prison disgraced and disrobed economically speaking and I'll bet they don't have a similar crisis for a good long time but obviously the odds of fraud there, like anywhere else, tend towards non-zero...

  I don't think I said that at all. I disagree with whatever it was you said to the effect that I believe laws likely currenty have the general anticipated and sometimes also measured quantities of heavy metals and other toxins that regulation built-in to the laws themselves in a sort of dual-chicken-egg type deal. I agree with you that the government just can't let the "regulate to the point of the people's starvation from overregulation conducted by a fundamentally incompetent govermment" happen. Just cuz I'm a dreamer doesn't mean I'm dreaming when it comes to RealPolitik. I'm just saying that, there needs to be more buy-in from industries everywhere to self-police and just do the right fucking thing more often that not and almost always if even nominally possible. Giving companies loopholes and allowing other retarded parlor games in corporate governance and whatever the hell else is done in and by large corporations that ends up affecting us all in the end always. And its disproportionate, they often get off with the golden loot and we all have to hold the bag and split the post-mortem costs
