Don't Limit Food Freedom For The Promise Of Safety

Utah, North Dakota, and Wyoming, have each enacted their own Freedom Food laws that seek to protect the rights of individuals to create their own food business from their home.

Not One Report Of Illness...
Risks can come regardless if someone has obtained a permit or not.
Despite individuals being exempt from licensing requirements, permits, and inspections, in areas that have welcomed new food freedom laws, the communities haven't descended into chaos because of their newfound freedom; quite the opposite has transpired.

The government still prohibits these entrepreneurs from selling their goods at any restaurants, to wholesalers, at grocery stores, and sending them across state lines though.
The newfound freedom for individuals who want to serve their goods voluntarily to others can bring many benefits. The promise of "safety" isn't sufficient enough to justify the violation to individual liberty, when the state requires that individuals first adhere to their arbitrary and often senseless edicts before they can serve others who are willing to trade with them.
The number of farmers in Wyoming has allegedly increased by 70 percent since the new food rules went into effect.
The rules are about control, not safety. They are also arguably politically-motivated and seek to diminish competition in the market. This is why various lawsuits have been launched and some have been successful in fighting for the right to serve others without having to endure unreasonable state-imposed obstacles beforehand.
