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?

You mentioned fruit stands. Can't stick with the subjects you bring up?

I am talking about fruit stands, in a building, not a guy on the side
of the road selling fruit off of the tail gate of his truck.

You can't just throw up one of those 2x4 and plywood shacks on the
side of the road like you see in southern Maryland, here. Any
structure needs to meet the current building code, even a shed in your
back yard.
If customers come inside, it also need to meet the other safety codes

This is what we call a fruit stand

It's a bit more relaxed up there in Klan land.
