Opting for more controls brings the tragic events of Crans-Montana crashing back in our faces. The regulations exist, but a "couldn't care less" attitude seems to predominate. This is the great weakness of a liberal system that gives free rein to almost everything, particularly concerning food. You will never be able to stop a chemist from inventing new recipes to make you believe that the product is better than the old one. One additive is banned and multinationals will invent new ones. Always staying ahead of legislation. The food industry follows the same methods as "Drug Design". As long as the new formula is not on the list of prohibited products, profit is guaranteed. Since time immemorial, methods have been invented to increase profits. In the 18th century, butchers became masters in the art of falsifying weights and bakers of adding anything and everything to flour. Three centuries later, multinationals are triumphing on the stock exchanges.

Generally speaking, the State must give itself the means to enforce the laws it enacts, whether in food safety, fire protection or any other area... When laws and regulations are made just to cover oneself and give the illusion that everything is under control, one inevitably falls into abuse and infringements.
