And people wonder why we resort to vigilantism to get anything done around here.

[whodoesthegovt]

Excuse me?

[sharpmaskedman]

Not terribly important, at least not until the Federales show up. So... you're thinking of applying to the FDA, then?

[whodoesthegovt]

I'm already otherwise employed.

[boomtoday]

I didn't know bread was serious business!

[whodoesthegovt]

Standards need to be put into place in order for nutrition to be guaranteed. It is for the health of the people.

[boomtoday]

I like the idea of some standards so you don't get hosed by a shady baker.

[whodoesthegovt]

Exactly.

As far as law-making goes, isn't that a little much?

[whodoesthegovt]

Not necessarily. It may seem frivolous, but it is useful to ensure standards of quality and to avoid false advertising.

[get_sometail]

Why'd anyone need to lie about their buns?

[whodoesthegovt]

To turn a profit using substandard ingredients and advertising it as quality?

[gamblerclub]

. . . Huh?

[whodoesthegovt]

It's part of the legislation here.

[gamblerclub]

Is that some crazy American thing?

[whodoesthegovt]

It's an American law.

[Om nom nom chicken]

What?

[whodoesthegovt]

Ah... It's the law. Regarding bakery products.

[icanhasseeing]

There are laws about bread?

[whodoesthegovt]

Of course. There are laws about everything in modern society.
