Regulation of big bodies take time. We can argue that it’s an efficiency issue, but that’s not the full picture.
To regulate such a big body, enough “proper” information and data is required, which can actually be quite expensive, and some only really observed in hindsight.
Regulatory bodies constantly have to play “catch-up”. Then, they struggle to regulate entities (some lager than entire international powers) that move for profit. Most times having to compromise after a shit ton of lobbying and bureaucracy.
Markets will adjust to new information and updates in regulation, which directly affects what people choose to consume. Hence, these entities will do anything to maximize their profits, because they know it’s a game of time — gain as much as possible, given the season. They will do anything to keep ignorance, misinformation, outrightly lying, even when their own internal information and research says otherwise.
And when they’re caught, they simply pay a small price for doing business. But the damage has been done to you, the consumer. And you’re left to fix your shit, or suffer the consequences.
I know you’re curious — why do they still do what they do, even when they might know the truth?
Well, the answer remains the same — Profit. The cheaper unhealthier option is usually more profitable, and, well there’s so much money to be made.
Now, I’m not saying the wealthy are evil or wealth is inherently evil. Simply understand
There are people motivated solely by profit, they don’t give a fuck about you, the world, the environment, nothing. They may provide value, but how valuable is this value, especially to your own interests.
Why do you give your money, your very essence to “value” that doesn’t serve you?
Secondly, stop being sold for the wrong reasons, and, do your own research
