ooh, you really brought out the stop here eh? The link between big companies and regulations is a major factor in the structure of our "civilized" culture, although it rarely seems civil to me! It's really crazy what can pass for supporting the "greater good" when it's really propping up the few...

I digress from the point but what you bring up is an important consideration in your food vote. How and where is your food produced, and how trustworthy is it? I feel these are the underlying questions for me, and it seems the regs more often than not just get in the way. Thanks for your 2 cents.
