In which of the following cases do meddlesome preferences interfere with standard economic reasoning?
A) In a poor economy, the diet is very low in protein, and plenty of stray dogs abound. Sellers realize that dog meat would be profitable and deliver the protein needs of the people, but don't sell it because the animal rights society issued a ban against eating dogs.
B) Thousands of people are on the wait list for kidneys. However, the government does not allow the sale of kidneys even though people can survive very well with one kidney.
