Bill would allow sale of homemade foods

9. Well, I agree that the basic problem is the government's unwillingness to govern.

Or to tax in order to govern, particularly where it comes to commercial activities, where we have this fetish about private enterprise being somehow more "efficient" than non-pr0fits, an idea which proves fatuous when you take a look at it.

But the root problem lies in the conflict between the desire to cook well and the desire to make money. You cannot simultaneously maximize both profit and quality, and it is the government's JOB to get in there and adjuducate that conflict in the public interest by monitoring anybody that produces food for the public to consume.

The point of the OP, to my mind, is more that small food producers deserve a fair playing field, and agribusiness has twisted the law to favor themselves and work against the little guys.
