Why does it make them look like idiots? Why have regulations on top of regulations giving us bigger government all around? If it would nix Prop 65, I'm all for it.
I'm not familiar with Proposition 65. Perhaps it doesn't address issues that are important regarding food regulations.
What I do know is that Mexico shipped a bad batch of strawberries to the United States and people got sick. When an investigation insued, it was found that Mexico had irrigated those strawberries with water containing some level of fecal matter. (I forget now if it was human or not, but I believe it was.)
We have developed some important guidelines for food safety in this nation. Other nations are not reguired to observe those guidelines, even if they are shipping that produce into the U.S. I think that's a problem.
Do I want big-government dipping it's fingers in everything? No I don't. When it comes to food safety I think it's important for government to do so.
IMO the restaurant inspection process in Los Angeles has helped to clean up some pretty despicable restaurant practices.
None of us wants big government, but there are times when regulations are reasoned.
Why have regulations on top of regulations giving us bigger government all around?
It’s not the job (or even the right) of the federal government to demand that any state have less regulation on their own food industry.
If the state government of California is creating too much regulation and legislation, it is the job of the voters of California to do something about it.
