……更有甚者，某些最大的保健品生产商也恨不得自己所有的产品都能享受这样宽松的监管标准。与此同时，对于其他人，我全心全意推荐《The Poison Squad》：https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/americanexperience/films/poison-squ... https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/312067/the-poison-s...

我觉得历史事实并不支持这一点。我刚听了 Deborah Blum 关于她新书《The Poison Squad》的访谈，讲的就是食品安全监管的历史。看起来大多数企业都有强烈的动机去制造有缺陷的产品；劣币驱逐良币。至于诉讼，如果没有监管法规，……
