It would seem that lack of quality control has just cost this company its
existence and its employees their livelihoods.

Should a company be responsible for its own quality control or is it a
responsibility of government to protect us?


Taking responsibility for one's own quality control is about the only
effective way to make government controls unnecessary.

Depending on government to protect you is just stupid.


And how do you know what's safe, Rich? Do you have a full set of
chromatography equipment at home, for analysis? Or do you eat nothing but
things you grow yourself?
