The purpose of government is to protect citizens from all threats, foreign and domestic.
LOL!!!!
My brother drives a semi. He picked up a load of pickles and got to tour the "factory". What he saw would make you puke. Government doesn't "protect" us. It controls.
You have a nice evening.
I grew up on a chicken ranch in an area full of dairy farms, cattle ranches, sheep farms, etc., etc. As an exchange student in France, I lived with a family who owned a small farm--13 cows, 3 pigs, rabbits, chickens, plus a kitchen garden. I do *not* have this idyllic image of cows grazing in pristine pastures completely free of disease-ridden wild animals, parasites, mosquitoes, biting flies, etc. Animals are naturally dirty, there is just no other way to put it. I guess if you're from the city and have never lived on or visited a farm, those Disney fairy tales might seem like reality to you.
Also, FYI, I've never seen a "conglomerate" dairy farm; I've only seen the local ones. They're all over. And they're dirty and stinky, too.

I have no idea what you're talking about. What did your brother supposedly see that would make me puke? Unsanitary conditions in violation of local, state, and federal food safety regulations? If he saw such unsanitary conditions, why didn't he report them to the local health department? Are you being contradictory here, trying to blame what I assume are filthy conditions (because you didn't actually say) on the very government that makes it a crime to process foods in those same filthy conditions?
