- jessaustin 11y agoYou're attempting to draw too fine a line here. It's not legal to sell meat for human consumption without USDA regulation.
- LordKano 11y agoI don't see it that way. For example, I could make my own wine and beer at home, for my own personal use but I can't sell it without accepting government oversight.
- jessaustin 11y agoOh, I see, you were making a smaller point than I thought originally, my misunderstanding. Since I hunt and own livestock, I regularly consume meat that didn't go through FDA inspection. My impression is that is a fairly rare thing. How many people would fly on a regular basis if the state outlawed commercial manufacture of airplanes?
