It's Friday, so probably a lot of the more well adjusted human beings are a little busy living life.

But yeah, good god people are being absurd.

However, there was similar absurdity a couple years ago, when an article about Costco having to dump a truckload of butter because it was mislabled, with everyone coming out of the woodwork to decry it as obvious government waste making us all poorer.

Which was insane of course. It was one truckload, just like here, and improperly labeled, just like here.

The US system takes the sanctity of product labeling extremely seriously, because the intent is that you can trust the label, and therefore make informed free market decisions! Strictly regulated labeling is a great way to reduce the information asymmetry between producer and consumer, and help keep a market competitive!

The reality is that nobody here is any better or worse than the average on any website that doesn't make you take a test before you can post. That was always true, but it's getting a little noisy. Notice how there is in fact pushback in this comments section to those running wild with assertions and bullshit, and those comments are getting downvoted to oblivion.

That is new and utterly toxic.

How many in this comment section even noticed that this is not safety related?
