Ever hear of 'caveat emptor' ? Maybe you should be careful what you buy.

The federal government has no constitutional power to regulate food. Regardless of Supreme Court ruling.

That law that every statist here is quoting was put into effect under the administration of FDR. You know, FDR, that conservative icon of freedom and limited government.

Just because it's been around for almost a century doesn't make it constitutional.

So each state must regulate whether Planters Deluxe Mix has no peanuts? Each state must regulate if Vitamin C tablets have any vitamin C? Each state must regulate if motor oil meets the standards for a particular grade?

That is ludicrous!

Caveat emptor indeed! How do you keep track of all the things you buy? How can you make decisions on what to buy? There are standards now ... but if there were none?

An oxymoron. Them's the rules. Don't like 'em, amend the Constitution and change 'em.
