It has been estimated that 90% of food bourne illnesses and deaths are the result of poor hygiene standards in the home. the regulators justify their heavy hand, especially on small business, by stating that they want to keep the public safe. surely if they want to keep the public safe they should concentrate on the area where there is the most harm.

what are your thoughts?

Yes. Let's create a Safe-Kitchen czar who can oversee several thousand new, pension-drawing government works to come into our homes and inspect our kitchens.

It will be swell.

Eh, FDA and USDA have their responsibilities defined to regulate commerce, not run households. But expect a "conservative" to expand the horizon.

Absolutely not. WAY too much cost, with little to no benefit. There's no way they should be allowed in someone's home kitchen.

We can educate people in mass about food safety and hygiene without inspecting homes....and we can do it at a faction of the cost of that ridiculous idea.

This is liberals in government trying to increase their power over the American people and further attempts to grow the number of government jobs and new taxes (fees).
The more government employees there are the more automatic Democrat vote to keep the hands in the treasury you get.

I might say yes if we don't have trillions of dollars of debt.

If the person is running a legitimate business out of their household kitchen, then they should be required to maintain the same standards as a professional kitchen.

If the person is just doing things like making brownies for a school bake sale, it is up to the buyer to know and understand that the products may or may not have been prepared in an enviroment equal to that of a professional business. Though, knowing how things are going with schools and stuff, I wouldn't be surprised to see some law or statute that requires bake sales to have warning signs next to their delicious triple chocolate fudge brownies.

The state should also control the food supply (for our protection) and cameras should be installed in kitchens to ensure full compliance (for the benefit of the collective).
Waste will be taxed (finish those green beans comrade!) and rations of food reduced if caught in violation (punished by the collective).
