Farmers fear they will face a flood of cheap imports undercutting high-standard British produce, and the potential for the EU to ban UK-produced food if standards were relaxed.

We ought, should, be regulating for the benefit of consumers. If no consumers want this cheap shit then they’ll not buy it if available. Therefore it’s not a problem. If consumers do buy it that means they want it. Therefore, given that they want it, it should be available.

That you want to ban it is proof that you think consumers want it. And so, well, why should you be allowed to ban what people want?
