Okay so in your utopia if you need to buy prescription drugs for your kids you'll perform the requisite hours of research to ensure that the drugs are safe and the company reputable. You'll trust that the R&D people didn't follow the same methods that led to Thalidomide.
And when you buy groceries you'll do another few hours of research to make sure the ingredients are safe -- as determined by some corporate-funded lab that gives their "seal of approval." (Because that trust has worked so well in the past.)
The list goes on and on.
