It is more than the law is a blunt instrument. When it comes to food laws it is a blunt instrument whose only efficacious purpose is to raise the barrier to entry so high that small operators with truly clean and environmentally sound food can't compete (if they are even legal to begin with).

Whereas other people examine the studies and testimonies and see overwhelming evidence that there is a link.

This is the problem with a government one size fits all system. There isn't necessarily one right answer. And in a system like ours where what government does is influenced most by big pharmaceutical agriculture corporations who have a business interest in sick people and sick animals, well you're likely not to get the right answer at all.

If you found this interesting I would highly suggest his recently released book by the same name. It goes into depth explaining a lot of things more.

A big point in his book that is getting missed here is this: our food regulation system doesn't really make us safer, it just gives us the feeling and appearance of that. What farmers like Salatin offer is true transparency and food safety, the kind government regulated food will never be able to provide. He just wants to be free to provide truly health building food.
