Left is the DQ near my office. Consistently does that. Right is the DQ in the next town over.

    Nah. FDA definitions exist to make large corporations more money. There isn’t much else to it.

      This except the complete opposite… :p

      The FDA definitions and regulations cost corporations money, because they need to produce what they claim.

      History lesson, pre-FDA a large corporation got caught selling thickened yellow sugar water as honey… The kicker was they would put a dead bee in each bottle to sell the fraud.

      FDA, EPA and other larger government regulating agencies aren’t perfect but jesus was shit crazy bad before them.

      (Another fun example, look up the Ohio river fire. Yes, the companies literally dumped enough shit into the river, it caught fire.)

      I wouldn’t go that far. Even labeling what should be called ice cream is good. The problem is not understanding the regulations that cause people to make judgements that have nothing to do with quality.
