    • The heavy metals in baby food occur naturally in human breast milk and lots of foods in high levels but NOT dangerous levels.Morning_star

    • It's not a free market if there's a federal limit regulating heavy metal levels. It's government regulation.palimpsest
    • Are you complaining that it's not a free market, bro?palimpsest
    • There should be more heavy metal in babyfood, exactly.PhanLo
    • That still regulation. If your want a free market Co.s should decide how much heavy metal to put in. It would be up to the consumer to pick the best product.palimpsest
    • That's what a true liberal would be for.palimpsest
    • Companies do decide how much metal to put in. Just enough that babies don't get brain damage.PhanLo
    • That tweet says government regulates the amount though. Are we even talking about the same thing?palimpsest

    • It also says there's a congressional investigation. And your comment is "It's a free market bro" ?!

    • There's the government regulations and there's what the company can get away with. Like our parents talking about lead in sweets, it's fun times.PhanLo

      Horseshoe theory. Everybody to the right of where I stand looks the same to me.

    • And, yes, I am aware that's not what horseshoe theory is.palimpsest
    • Why are they putting Metalica in baby food?Chimp
    • in my experience it’s liberals who are into regulation and safetymonospaced
    • The misunderstood ‘heavy metals’ argument is also the same anti-vaxxers use. TBH I do like a bit of Slayer in my vaccines.Morning_star
    • Years someone pumped machine gun bullets into the bodies of children and no one did anything. You think they give a shit about baby food????futurefood
    • Free heavy metals for all children under 5utopian
    • Unfortunately it’s not just baby food. Rice, carrots, sweet potato. We are fucked.ben_
    • Some plants accumulate certain metals, including arsenic (ok, a semi-metal) naturally. Rice particularly because of concentrates in paddy fields.Nairn
