Ok, so you open up your sick restaurant.

And it goes out of business because people don't want to eat there (big surprise).

No law is needed, imagine that.

There is no law against eating dog poo. And lo and behold, people don't eat it.

You don't need government to dictate every aspect of your life. If you try real hard, you can do it yourself. Give it a try, it's liberating.

Wait, hold on...what if it is successful? Is that morally wrong? My restaurant is on my property, and I'm not hurting anyone, right? How could anyone shut me down?

The funny thing is that it is HV's standard of morality (which recognizes no right other than the right to life, in the strict sense of biological existence) which favors the Gunga Diner -- since the marginal increase in the food supply would raise the level of security against starvation from 99.99999998% to 99.99999999%, it should not only be opened, but should be kept open by the government if necessary, according to HV's moral code.
