It's up to individuals to make decisions about what they do and do not eat and live with the consequences.
True, but when that level of individual freedom has negative repercussions on the community, the government has to step in. Else the society will cease to be.
Imagine if our (USA) govt allowed us to buy gas (fuel, petrol) with lead in it, ignoring the long term impact of lead in the environment.
Individual freedom is not absolute. An one should not be allowed to engage in habits that harms the community in that fashion. Yes, there are things we can't avoid, but when necessary, the govt has the powers to regulate individual habits.
Unfortunately for these countries, membership in the WTO does not serve their interests in this regard.
