I don't understand what is meant by "free market self-regulation through
voluntary association and certification".
Would this mean that the beef industry would monitor the quality of the meat
we buy?
Or that the dairy industry would certify the milk and cheese that is sold?
Or that the growers of tomatoes andd strawberries would certify the level of
pesticides in their produce?
