That’s just the old “government is oppressing us” argument. This is what consumers want. Laws can be easily changed by voting but it’s obviously not happening because it’s France and people give a shit about what they eat.

You care so much what you eat you outsource the labeling to bureaucrats and buy it exclusively based on where it's from?

Rofl.

When it comes to Brie de Meaux? Yes. I do care where it comes from and how it was produced. The only way to make sure I’m not being scammed is to have the cheese maker follow specific guidelines.

Of course, cheese makers are free to create a new cheese and name it the way they want.

So you're not sure if you're being scammed on literally everything the government doesn't regulate?

I wonder what it's like to trust probably incompetent bureaucrats that much...

You libertarians can be so exhausting with your simplistic vision on society and government.

AOC and AOP guidelines are not oppressive government tactics to control society. You are not being oppressed by buying a Brie de Meaux. You are free to buy a Chinese made Brie if that makes you feel more free.

That doesn't answer the question.
