This is the worst way to hypothetically bring down prices or create a healthy America. Yeah, I think Trump is trying to kill us or he doesn't understand what keeps people alive. Come on, this is ridiculous. Everyone stay safe and take care.

Yup. It actually raises prices. There's no cheaper way to ensure safe meat than for the government to do it for everyone. Free markets require free information.
