- danso 8y agoThere is definitely more leeway with food. But the FDA, for instance, bans raw milk from interstate sales: https://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2015/02/20/387558373/why-some-states-want-to-legalize-raw-milk-sales https://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2015/02/20/387558373/wh... Local governments can also regulate what food is purchaseable, more specifically, who is legally allowed to sell food; restaurants have to agree to pass health inspections, for instance. As another example: Peking Duck was effectively illegal because of health regulations until legislators (of Asian descent) were able to pass laws saying otherwise: https://www.nytimes.com/1982/03/31/us/around-the-nation-california-panel-backs-a-chinese-duck-bill.html https://www.nytimes.com/1982/03/31/us/around-the-nation-cali...
