Let's watch while Jane prepares her morning breakfast, bacon and eggs.

Jane's bacon is safe to eat because some girly-man liberal fought for laws to regulate the meat packing industry.

Like the meat-packing industry, the egg producers resisted regulation. "It will cost too much!" "It's un-American!" "Only Commies require food production to be safe at every step along the way!" "We should let the marketplace will sort it out!"

Uh-huh.

1. There is always a reason when the US government imposes safety regulation; most other regulations tend to be suspect, but safety regulations are there because far too many businesses cut corners (to put it kindly)
2. Don't take my word for it; read (or re-read) this
3. See this this, this, or this. Or if you have some spare time, this, which reinforces what I'm saying about 2,560,000 times
   

Has anyone noticed that even with regulation, the entire food production industry is still thriving?
