>When will it end?

When you want it to end. You're putting those burdens on yourself.




No, the people who say that this is up to the consumers, rather than being a regulatory issue.

Those people are doing big-corporations a favor, by trying to shift the burden to me, who we all know can't possibly do this.


Except we don't operate in some sort of unrestricted free market. There are agencies like the FDA that enforce food and pharma standards - so you can trust that nothing at a grocery store will poison you. There are laws, regulations and trade deals that govern how commerce is conducted. What you're doing is injecting personal, arbitrary and capricious standards on top of the already existing massive regulatory framework and then complaining it is too hard. No kidding! Don't do that then or at least don't be a martyr about it.
