I’d also add that there are often power imbalances which are irreconcilable. If I go to buy some chicken, Tyson’s is going to laugh if I request to tour their growing facilities and processing plants. Even if I get everyone I know together to ask for it, we’re still too small a group to care about. Maybe I try organizing online, which probably goes nowhere but if it does they ask their buddies at Comcast to block access to that site, etc. Very few people have the time, energy, or resources to monitor more than a few of the thousands of companies they depend on. |

The thing is...a sector of companies that do this is probably a good business opportunity that is being crowded out by a mandatory government monopoly.
The fact that government does this means that you are already paying for it, and maybe its not being done well.
If people care about their food, they should look for a sticker on their food, from an organization that verifies it. If other people don't have the label, and people know about it, then people won't buy from them.
And if this is too much trouble, then have another industry above this where companies offer all-encompassing ratings on a variety of different things.
With modern technology so much is possible to solve problems that otherwise were too complicated.
You could end up with a marketplace of super apps, that ensure you are completely covered across all avenues of life to the parameters that you desire.
It sounds complicated, but today its even more complicated with government where we rely on the media mostly.
