He has a point...Actually, it was the canned peas. <br /><br />He has a point, though. If you die from listeria tainted lunchmeat, you certainly won't be buying from that company ever again. And assuming anyone actually knows that's what you died from, it's possible other people might not either. Of course, people get food poisoning all the time, and assume it's any number of other things. The vast majority of food poisonings are never identified as food poisoning, let alone linked to any given product. They tend to be mild, a day or two of vomiting and diarrhea, but if you asked people if they'd like to do that three or four times a year plus a bonus ticket for the Dead From E. Coli lottery, or just pay the same amount in taxes they do now, I'm guessing people would mostly stampede Stossel to get their W-2s in order. <br /><br />The worst part is, when dealing with libertarians, it doesn't even make economic sense to avoid taxes that go to health inspections. You're better off keeping the eight year old kid you have now and have invested time and money in, than watching him die of salmonella and having to raise another kid to not take to that fast food place, assuming they haven't started selling salmonella under another brand name. I mean, hey, how many ways are there to lose a kid to food poisoning? You're bound to get lucky and have one live to adulthood sooner or later. <br /><br />Sure, the taxes and surcharges the companies pass along to the consumer would undoubtedly be outmatched by the cost of all that pre-natal care or lost dependent write-offs when you're between consumer self-education experiments, or even just the cost of replacing personalized Christmas stockings. But that's the price we pay to be free!<br /><br /><br />Anyway, folks, sorry. I'm not dead. The whole existence thing got complicated for a while, and kind of still is, but at least I know within three guesses who I actually am for most of the day now. I missed a lot of birthdays and celebrations, and I apologize to you all. Happy very belated events. You are welcome to get even by sulking and refusing to invite me to your gay weddings. D.

Coli-tainted meat to a ConAgra plant in California in June 2002, company officials’ reaction was to refuse to provide a list of customers to whom they had shipped tons of potentially contaminated meat. Health officials could have used that information to notify customers and possibly halt a wider outbreak."<br /><br />And eager to nip any problems early:<br /><br />"ConAgra largely ignored evidence of E coli O157:H7 contamination that began cropping up at the Greeley, Colo., plant in January 2001, more than a year before the recall and illness outbreak"<br /><br />But it's okay. They only had to recall 19 million pounds of ground beef. And informed consumers could easily find another meatpacker to supply their ground beef, like say, Swift Foods, exactly how free-market competition is supposed to work. <br /><br />"The ConAgra meat plant was later sold to Swift Foods Co."<br /><br />Oops.<br />R.
