Surely there's some hyperbole there. For example, the US doesn't have a problem with lead chromate in their turmeric.

- CoastalCoder 3y agoThe GP stated that the US has the worst protections. So a single counterexample suffices.
- uoaei 3y agoNo it doesn't. Statistics is robust to outliers compared to logic, and GP was making a statistical claim.
- billyjmc 3y agoIt’s not intended to be an exception disproving the rules. It’s a trigger to induce the rational reader to recognize the obviously fallacious hyperbole of accusing the US of having the worst consumer protection law.
