Dolphin safe tuna anyone? Perhaps it’s a technicality as it was US companies that lost the ability to print “Dolphin Safe” on their cans of tuna vs. Mexican producers. In any event US consumers didn’t “Win”.

And what about the recent “Meat Labeling” case. Are US consumers “winners here”?

My questions don’t change the more important Bottom line in the OP of course.
