    You directly associate the nation's biggest food and health problem to federal policy. Why not advocate the No Policy option, and just let people buy groceries as they choose?

I'm not advocating anything, to be clear. I'm just advancing the idea that the status quo is unsustainable, and that there are problems with any alternative I can think of.

Okay, simply pointing out challenges without offering solutions is fine. It's just that when I read "The markets can't be trusted to be rational" I expect "Something must be done" to come next and I just want to keep doing nothing on the table.
