    Less emulsifiers in the soap, drinks with corn syrup replacing sugar, and powders like cinnamon cut with lead powder.

    Standard formulas for a given product. Anything that isn’t 40% sugar drink is “immitation soda drink”. Anything that’s under-emulsified can’t be called real soap.

    These are solvable problems at a regulatory level. But at some point, it may be more cost efficient to simply nationalize the under-performing industry. Perhaps Coca-Cola just can’t cut it making soda drinks anymore, and the firm needs to be broken up and devolved to the various states as State Soda Bottling Company

      You are seriously underestimating the complexity of products and how easy it would be for them to skirt such legislation

      It would be a massive endeavour for regulators which companies may bypass by industry… This is not the right approach

        Again, if the regulation process becomes too burdensome, sometimes the only practical solution is nationalization.

          Nationalize every food production branch? Hmmm sure, that’s simpler
