A tweet from Dr Ellie Murray, ScD that reads:
Some of y’all forget the reason we have
food safety regulations is because
companies used to do things like adding

Regulations don’t exist because
governments enjoy them. They exist
because pure unadulterated capitalism
would k Il us. — A tweet from Dr Ellie Murray, ScD that reads: Some of y’all forget the reason we have food safety regulations is because companies used to do things like adding chalk to spoiled milk so it looked normal.
