alt Hacker NewsThe whole idea of "race to the bottom" implies at least some portion consumers are going to choose the inferior product, which directly contradicts the original claim that British consumers have rejected US chicken, and the US needs to force them to buy it.

You're one of these people that get off on being technically correct even though it has no value to the discussion at large. No, 100% of Brits were not surveyed and all said no and as I said in another comment, the poorest of the country would likely buy it because it would be the cheapest option.

This kind of bunk is why I outgrew being a libertarian four decades ago. Transparency, anti-fraud laws, and standards make markets work. Fantasies about "network states" do not.

Yup.

No it doesn't.

Why let the US force foreigners to buy an inferior product?
Better solution: block inferior products from being imported. Then people choose to purchase not-inferior products.
