Ahh...libertarianism...no regs because tainted food makes you strong.

That is the problem with you Harry. You can't see the difference
between reasonable regulation and oppressive regulation that only a
corporate compliance department can deal with.
You complain about Walmart running the Mom and Pop operations out of
business but you won't admit, over regulation is part of the problem.
The fact remains that a 200,000 square foot Walmart has just about the
same regulatory burden as a 200 square foot fruit stand. Who do you
think can absorb it easier?

We have lots of roadside produce stands around here. Dozens. The regs
they must follow can't be that burdensome. As a libertarian, you're
against most regs, right?

We are talking about a building, not a guy in a truck but maybe you
don't really have that much regulation up there.
Agriculture is just a hobby for most Marylanders so they don't care
that much about where produce comes from.
Who knows if you even have life safety officers?

Within 15 minutes of here, we have at least a half dozen large, enclosed
seasonal produce markets/stands, free-standing, with electricity,
running water, et cetera, and a couple of those are at least 20' x 30'.
Most of what I buy from them is grown locally.

I wouldn't trust "libertarians" to set and enforce anything to do with
safety that involves governmental agencies.

Just because you are opposed to abortion doesn’t make you pro-life. Your
morality is deeply lacking if all you want is a child born but not a
child fed, not a child educated, not a child housed, not a child
clothed, not a child able to see the doctor. That’s not pro-life…that’s
pro-birth.
