I'm sure we're coming at this from very different perspectives but I can't quite understand how it would be better to reduce regulation on food safety than to give people enough income by default that they can eat and have a roof over their heads. At least from my perspective giving people a choice as to what they do is worlds better than forcing people to take (often multiple) unsatisfying, poorly paid, jobs just so they don't starve to death.

And why is a pack of cigarettes sold by a bodega somehow safer than a single cigarette sold by Eric Garner? I eat food that has not been blessed by American regulators all the time. Somehow, this didn't kill me: https://goo.gl/photos/ytKacsLvkxhqCnW18 https://goo.gl/photos/ytKacsLvkxhqCnW18
