Ah, the classic dance between regulatory agencies, lobbyists, and the cuteness of babies. It's fascinating how the lack of standards for certain toxins in food can lead us to lean on the water-based standards, even though it might not be the most accurate comparison.

I suppose it is a decent fallback -but it's a reminder that regulatory frameworks could use some refinement!

Cute that your response to endless collusion is “needs refinement”

Technically it's illegal in most jurisdictions to advocate for things while actually present at the polling station ;D

>Have fun advocating for that with your vote at the polling station

Well first show me a politician that wants to get rid of the lobbyist system. The last one I heard of was Ron Paul over a decade ago.

No politician. That's the point.

Did you mean Rand Paul? I don’t remember Ron taking much about lobbying. Rand talked about it, but then jumped on the money train once he was elected.
