A little something a I stumbled onto, on Reddit. Take that as you will, but this sounds pretty legit to me:











As someone who likes their olive oil, this entire thing kind of triggers me a bit. But the one thing that sticks out, is the regulators. This affects EVERY business, and they admit it's all just a scam, where they get paid, and give their seal of approval.


In other words, government regulation doesn't protect the consumer, as intended, but simply pads the officials pockets while driving up the cost of product (Who must make up the difference.)



And this is why, even if I disagree with a lot of policies on the right, I can never really get behind the faith the left has in regulators. There's simply no way to be sure they're even doing their jobs, and no incentive for them to do their jobs right.

In Japan this isn't an issue where collectivist society eliminates corruption and personal greed.

This could easily be eliminated if they had functioning regulatory bodies.

You just need chemists who can get paid well enough to do this work.

Then randomly sample. And set clear guidelines on labeling.

"French-Lebanese-Brazilian businessman"

That's all I needed to see.

Nissan has been a subsidiary of Renault since the 2000's anyway. It's a shame how sh1t their cars have become since then.

Not really. Those chemist are humans too, and humans are corruptible. All you need is just one person at the right level in your pocket.

True.

Grants could be offered to QA the government regulatory bodies. There was an idea put out there like this where the citizens hold the government responsible to govern and regulate.
