       Dear Drakes, please fix this label.Though this is the first time I've personally seen this mistake, I suspect that soy filler, most notably soy flour and protein, may occasionally be added to foods without it being properly listed.Soy grown with glyphosate herbicide is problematic (https://thetyee.ca/Analysis/2021/07/07/Glyphosate-Probable-Human-Carcinogen/herbicide). In 2016 the EU only authorised its use to 2023 citing "concerns about the carcinogenicity and endocrine [(hormone)] disruptive properties" (https://www.europarl.europa.eu/news/en/press-room/20160407IPR21781/glyphosate-authorise-for-just-seven-years-and-professional-uses-only-urge-meps). The WHO has since classified the substance a "probable carcinogen".My election flyer (https://gnusocial.net/conversation/7351760#notice-12758871) seeks a mandate to ban it.(1 of 1) https://gnusocial.net/attachment/2df3a0ee556274416864476c60a3a41a5ccab763b6ed26edd0160d3f878f7820/view

       Why you gotta ban stuff? Why can't you allow consumers to make informed decisions?

       there's an inherent imbalance of powerit's not an informed decision if all suppliers impose the same consumer-hostile components, ingredients, policies.  regulations can avoid a race to the bottom, in which those who would offer superior alternatives are driven out of the market by those who adopt unhealthy or undesirable ingredients, while denying their harm to increase or maintain profits at the expense of customers.

       @lxo do you equally support governments making non-free software illegal?

       I wouldn't say I support making it illegal, but I wouldn't object either.  depriving others of freedom is not a freedom, so ruling that out wouldn't be wrong.  but maybe, at this point in history, for strategic reasons, that kind of rule might strategically backfire, and that could be a reason to not adopt it.
