How do public health policies and government regulations influence the food that we eat as a nation? what does cooper mean when she says that the government 'commodifies' food?

Definitely the government regulations influence the food that we eat as a nation. When Ann Cooper talks about "commoditie" food is talking about junk food that sickens people. However, I don't agree with government intervention in things that we eat or drink. I believe there should be more reasonable freedom in what we eat. or drink as long as it is not poison. Lately something happened in Peru and a well-known and respected food company was fined for not putting in the labels that what it was selling was not pure milk but a preparation containing milk although the government gave permission to use that label. As a consequence milk has gone up specially the milk sold by this company. Consumers ended up being harmed. That's why I believe more in the power of consumers deciding what is good or bad for themselves.

the answer is b, encourage free trade

what's this it's not giving you what have to do.
