Companies aren't dogs, companies have obligations that they need to fulfill and they're choosing to neglect them.

- starttoaster 2y ago> Companies aren't dogs Metaphor, but sure, quite literally they're not dogs. Very true. > companies have obligations that they need to fulfill and they're choosing to neglect them. From our eyes they're neglecting to follow the spirit of a policy. From their eyes, they're following it to the letter of the policy. Perspective.
- Molitor5901 2y agoAFAIK you are required to follow the letter of the law, not the spirit. Whatever spirit moved the legislature into approving a law is secondary to the actual wording of the law. If congress wanted people to follow "the spirit of the law" then they should have made the law more explicit, instead of leaving it up to the FDA to decide what's the right spirit to have.

- stoperaticless 2y agoI like sesame. Should sesame be banned world wide because 0-5% are allergic to it? (I assume: no) Can company choose to produce sesame products? (I assume: yes) Can company choose solely sesame products, without doing sesame-free stuff? (I assume: yes) If new regulation comes along, and business deems new requirement is unacceptably high, can it pivot to a different market where it can reuse same investments? (I assume: yes) Law can be flawed. (Because people definitely are) Maybe it can be improved? E.g. require random testing, and then say there are 7 seeds in every 100000 of pies.
