When an over-zealous regulator shows up at a farm dinner demanding that food be destroyed as hungry guests await, who do you call? Here’s Laura’s account written as a letter to her guests who had come to Quail Hollow Farm expecting a meal of foods harvested from local small family farms.

Susan deemed our food unfit for consumption and demanded that we call off the event because:
1. Some of the prepared food packages did not have labels on them. (The code actually allows for this if it is to be consumed within 72 hours.)
2. Some of the meat was not USDA certified. (Did I mention that this was a farm to fork meal?)
3. Some of the food that was prepared in advance was not up to temperature at the time of inspection. (It was being prepared to be brought to proper temperature for serving when the inspection occurred.)
4. Even the vegetables prepared in advance had to be thrown out because they were cut and were then considered a “bio-hazard”.
5. We did not have receipts for our food. (Reminder! This food came from farms not from the supermarket! I have talked with several chefs who have said that in all their years cooking they have never been asked for receipts.)

Easy? Yes, but it takes forever to get the paperwork through and your stamp back.
It is indeed astonishing.
The United States (once the land of freedom) now has almost certainly the most socialist housing market in the Western world (thanks to Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac - and so on, because they are not the only interventions).
What to do? A saying from the Irish side of my family springs to mind - “I would not start from here”, that is not just a useless response to the question “how do I get to.....” it really means “the ground is too difficult for you to walk to.... from here, if you try you are going to die in a bog”. The situation is bad (really bad) conventional tactics (like trying to walk to ....) will not work.
