>No one can have perfect information, even if they did I that would be a violation of that persons liberty as a person owns themselves and their ideas and if someone steals their ideas they are just a petty thief.
I'm a thief of ideas if I'm allowed to know if my shirt was produced inhumane conditions? Transparency is a bad thing?
>It is your individual responsibility to do your own research so you can make an informed purchase, would you want someone voting randomly in elections?
This is impossible, precisely for the reasons you said above - transparency is not good for companies, and it's not possible for me to know. It's comparable to knowing the ingredients of a typical processed food. Do you know how a single Twinkie comes to be? The idea that you can understand the process behind each part of a complex good without extensive research is ridiculous.
>Markets are the only democracies that work
Capitalism reduces our human species-relations to mere money. Direct communication and democracy in all aspects of life is far more effective then the diluted democracy is have in the state or economy now.

It's not a diatribe against the food industry, it's pretty honest. Although it does bring up concerns about how we rely on corn byproducts to an amazing degree, I felt no compunctions about reading it while eating a box of Twinkies.
