In a Free Market, why does 100% of the "white tuna" turn out to be something else, usually "the 'ex-lax' fish"?

"All 23 white tuna samples tested as some other type of fish, usually escolar, which is nicknamed the 'ex-lax' fish by some in the industry because of the digestion problems it can cause."

Only a socialist questions what a corp tells you. You hate America.
What I enjoy about that story is that a newspaper is taking up the slack where regulators have clearly failed. There's not enough serious investigative reporting these days, IMO. And I don't mean investigations of presidential birth certificates and school records, which just waste everyone's time.

Here we have the media doing the detective work on "seafood fraud", and I'm curious to see if the gov't follows up with fines and penalties.

Some folks say that the gov't should not help the needy, because we have non-profit groups and churches who can help them. If churches can take up the slack in feeding and housing the poor, should we call on the media to investigate private industry, to keep them honest? This could help with the national debt. The government can lay off the inspectors, and just hire an administrator to collect the fines from offenders. It will help keep corporations honest, this fear of bad press if the media investigates them and finds fraud.In a Free Market, why does 100% of the "white tuna" turn out to be something else, usually "the 'ex-lax' fish"?
I love it when Liberals think "responsible/reasonable regulations" means.. No Regulations.

Or that liberals believe that all current regulations are enforced correctly and efficiently by our "Outstanding Government officials", I mean.. wow.. look at their record regulating Fannie Mae.


Psst.. there's a "gray area" between your black/white thinking ability.
Most likely because it is cheaper to produce then regular tuna and is quicker. Of course this is an example of a free market because the corporation can use any means at its disposal to make money. That is why some argue for regulation to protect American consumers. No one wants to eat tainted meat or fish that give you indigestion problems.In a Free Market, why does 100% of the "white tuna" turn out to be something else, usually "the 'ex-lax' fish"?
Wrong. We have laws against fraud.



You don't get that.

You want law on top of law on top of law.



That's wrong. It's unjust.

Apply the laws.
Lack of regulation, which is what the republicans live for, and others may die for.
Eww I hate tuna.
Because of to much government regulation. or so they will say
Ouch! What happened, did you get some bad fish?
