Self regulation not working

Has there been an instance where self regulation actually works?

You mean like a diet?

...

No.

Where there are n+1 groups and there is a massive benefit for the one over the others if they don't regulate.... don't think so

It can work until they capture the regulator, and then become as one.

Perhaps we can start self-regulating paying taxes, according to the government it's an efficient strategy to remove unnecessary red tape.

I grew up as a fat kid, and I'm a fat adult. What would've helped me was better access to fruit and veg, but also probably better health alternatives. Whether it's actually getting an ADHD diagnosis and a script for meds, I would love working out (I've been meaning to get back into it tbh). But also I have health issues where losing weight is hard af.

Restricting junk food does nothing.
