to label those 'risky' capitalist products because, well, IF it turns out as being bad for human health, wouldn't THAT impact THEIR bottom lines in the future???

My point is, I don't understand why the wrongdoings of one capitalist industry would get a 'get-away-with-it-scot-free' if what they do would turn out being at the detriment of another capitalist industry. Shouldn't they at least be 'consistent' from one another??
