Since you state that only laws pertaining to fraud or force should apply and these should be enforced via our tort laws, then you also disagree with regulations on restaurants such as those that require separation between cooking/serving areas and restrooms, employee hygiene, refrigeration standards, etc. Of course, every operator should be able to reserve any food left over from previous diners if he so desired as long as no one gets sick or injured.

In the absence of force, in this case by government, people could choose to eat at such establishments or not. If people were interested in standardization of conditions, private rating/approval services would spring up to fill the demand. The UNDERWRITERS LAB, STANDARD AND POORS, GOODHOUSEKEEPING SEAL, DUFF AND PHELPS AND INSURANCE UNDERWRITERS businesses are examples.

The government has taken those resposibilities over, at gunpoint if necessary, in the example of resturants. They do a poor job, predictably. <p.I'm glad you offered my an opportunity to introduce those to you. Civil society works better than government society based on force.
