I was making a joke, thank you for the insults.

I apologize, only after reading some of your comment history. Seems you are conservative on many issues. Perhaps you will accept that my posts were "shorthand" to imply that your position on the single issue of allergy regulation of public food sources aligns with the liberal Democrat position, however.

I do suggest a need for reconsideration of the big picture, in that your position on this thread indicates a lack of understanding of how profit is generated, why a reasonable amount of profit in small businesses is a good thing, and how profitability supports free markets and freedom in general. Conversely, overregulation cuts profiability and innovation, raises prices, shrinks the job market, reduces variety and availability -- and thus erodes overall freedom.

The restaurant business is a high cost/slim profit-margin business to begin with. Even seemingly small added costs can break the back of all but the large chains who are the WalMart of food quality -- mass-produced, cheap and not very special -- and will most definintely depress that sector, shut out the brilliance of small-business innovation from the marketplace and result in more overall harm to society at large than gain to the allergy constituency.
