Chris, Now you liken free trade to people choosing their own directions.
That's not something you like, of course. You want to able to tell them what to do. The danger was less than minimal. Even now, no connection has been established between Mad Cow and any human problems. The shoppers thought the cheap beef was a good deal. It was. How lucky they were not to have Chris telling them what to do.
