Trade in ag goods is an external interaction.

Anyway, what trade treaties require is that health regulations have a rational basis, not be merely pretexts for protectionism. Too much of what I see from Europe is the latter, not the former.

How would preventing the import of melamine tainted milk be an external interaction? Should all states be required to sell poisoned milk from China?

Did you not read my second paragraph? I think you're not interested in honest debate here.

Why would you imply that I didn't read your full comment? Of course I did.

You have not made to me a compelling case that a legitimate concern over what one allows into one's food supply is an external interaction.
