[QUOTE=bitonti;4260026]by the way this is one of those situations where increased gov't regulations/oversight are needed cause the free market is far from perfect.[/QUOTE]

Wrong.

Education is what is needed. The FDA can make consumers aware of the levels and risks associated with arsenic in apple juice. And then consumers can make an informed decision in the free market.

If enough people decide its not worth the risk, then apple juice manufacturers will be forced to act to reduce arsenic levels. All the while, no one's freedoms are infringed upon and the economy isn't artificially manipulated.
