I think not.

Just where have you been outside the United States, and which of those foreign countries runs (a) the best and (b) the worst food inspection and safety regime?

Describe the food safety measures (or lack of same) that you’ve seen in, say, Africa or Asia or South America.

Oh Lord! Where to begin? With the FDA bureaucracy running things, I can stay home, eat poison and kill my pets too while buying it all at a licensed food seller.

This summer the efficient FDA blamed tomatoes for a salmonella.outbreak. Ruined the farmer. OOOPS! It wasn't tomatoes. Instead, Jalapeño and Serrano peppers grown in Mexico, caused the salmonella outbreak.

OMG! How did the human race survive??????????

I can attest to the safety standards (or lack thereof) of Asia and South America, but not Africa. I can also say that I successfully took responsibility for what I ate in those places. It isn't hard, and it doesn't require government control.
