        This is spot on. The meat industry for years has been trusted because of regulation. The moment you take away regulation you take away trust and start a race to the bottom. Ask any of these other deregulated industries:

        -News and Television -Deregulated in the 90s

        -Boeing and commercial aircraft - Merged unchallenged in the 90s and the FAA allowed “self reporting”

        -Banks - Deregulated in the 90s.

      Regulators: “there’s three of us”

      Meat producers: “we have no incentive to follow existing laws and standards which were lax as hell to begin with.”
