Sorry I took so long to respond to your pings. I was off trying to save us from the gubermint.
It's just mind-boggling to think of ALL THE RELATED INDUSTRIES that a move such as this would affect. Not to mention the obvious stuff like the burger slinger at McDonald's.
At the website linked in the article, the cut-off date for comments is Nov. 28th. My husband checked it out and there are multi-page letters from USDA, Dept Transportation, Dept Commerce etc. condemning this fascist proposal.
One would think that the restaurant industry wouldn't sit idly by either...
