And who do you think lobbies the government into doing that? The corporations do, so you trust them to regulate themselves?

The government and FDA is the public tool for keeping corporations in check even if it has been corrupted. Its our fault for not paying attention or valuing the service.

They lobby the organization, that they lobbied for the existence of, to limit competition and block access to the market. If the USDA limited themselves to verifying advertising claims, they'd be doing the peoples work, but that is not why they were created. They were created to be the tool of the large established meatpackers.
