   Good thing he didn't deliver with sausage!  Maybe 20 years hard labor . . . 

   On the surface this may seem ridiculous.  But people selling prepared foods for consumption need to be inspected. 

   The health inspector should have been involved, not the police . . .   The inspector could have fined the delivery person for operating without a license.

   Charities get a pass . . . Generally that bake sale is only once or twice a year and not a business.

Why?

Explain this NEED of which you speak.

[Pox Eclipse]

Because there are people who would think nothing of selling adulterated food that can sicken and kill people if they think they can make a buck and get away with it.  I wish the world wasn't like that; but it is, and no amount of wishful thinkfing for Libertopia where there are no regulations, and no one abuses their neighbor is going to change that.  If it wasn't for government health & safety regulations (GASP!!) we would be living back in the days of Upton Sinclair's The Jungle. 

[MountainDon]

Why?  

Because even with regulations that cover commercial restaurants, many of them get red tagged for things like insect infestations, mouse droppings, storing food at incorrect and unsafe temperatures, and many other unsanitary conditions. Rules and inspections are also necessary because there are people who don't give a damn about others. As long as the food service business is an ongoing regularly ocurring thing, it should have to abide by the rules and face inspections.

Sure rules, regulations and inspections are no guarantee that everything will be hunky dory but I believe there is a better chance. Some people are only motivated by fear of being caught and exposed.

The Savannah case is ridiculous only because there was no need to call out the police and arrest anyone. The health depatment should have been the ones involved from the git go. The police need only have been involved if the violator was thumbing his nose at the health enforcement officials.

As far as being exposed to unsanitary conditions when visiting others homes, yes, I've seen a few where I would not elect to eat.

   Thanks Pox . . . Well said! 

   Mary Mallon-Typhoid Mary comes to mind.  That case may seem an extreme example!  But, the influx of sickly undocumented workers (illegal's) picking our produce, preparing and serving our food is on the rise.  Diseases like Tuberculosis, MRSA are esculating here in Texas.  There have been recalls on produce this year due to sick workers.

   Do you mind unsanitary conditions?

   Proper food preparation, "clean" employees, refrigeration, "sneeze guards" etc. are all essential.   

   While most people are responsible, it is regrettable that we must be "policed" in just about all aspects of life.  An unfortunate necessity. . .

I say that good food is necessary and food safety is necessary but the real reason for the licensing and inspections is usually for monetary gain of the taxation parasites in the government.  They are seldom at their stations in the slaughterhouses I used to do repairs in.  They were the joke of the establishment.

Yesterday I ate from a licensed maggot wagon, roach coach or garbage truck as you may call it and I sh-- my brains out for two hours.  That is quite common to expect from the licensed inspected facilities.  It is also common in about half of the food places around the country.

The fees must be paid and food safety inspections will be done and enforced as the hoards get the craps and complain.

I more trust a Mexican Mamma with a trunk full of burritos and beans than many of the licensed inspected diarrhea vendors.

MtDon I am like you and have seen the inside of several homes for which I would not even sit down let alone eat.  That is usually why I do not buy "bake sale goods" for fear of where it originated from.  I will donate to the cause when justified.  There is exceptions of small town sales as I know who bakes what and then it is a thumbs up.

 Well, I just think it's un-American to spell biscuits like that. What are we? FRENCH?

[Homegrown Tomatoes]

i have to admit, the interview with the delivery guy was hilarious!!  I mean, "It's biscuits and gravy!!!!"  ROFL.

[StinkerBell]

Stinkerbell, that must be it because I thought about it - whether it's spelled with a C or Q ...   

I spell barbeque with a Q also...
