Food inspection is one area where I’m content to allow the government significant leeway.
Especially since I’ve had food poisoning while abroad, and have repeatedly seen the most revolting meat handling practices imaginable.
It’s already gross enough, I wouldn’t want America to decline to anywhere near those “standards”.
America’s “standards” aren’t yours, believe me. My brother Dan drives semi. Went to a pickle factory for a pickup. After seeing the outdoor vats and what’s in them besides pickles, FDA approved, he won’t eat pickles anymore. Co-ops and health food farms are cleaner.
I know. Food standards DOES seem like one area where regulation might not be a bad thing. However, if government is so bad at everything else, how can it be that they might actually make this situation better? It’s kind of a puzzler to me.
