Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.

Why exactly does it matter that she is a mom, or single?

Narrative™.

Having been a registered sanitarian for 40 years, let me point out that tainted foodstuff KILLS about 3,000 people a year and sickens up to 5 million. Now if you want to be “free” to buy uncooked fish from some woman you “know” from the internet, go ahead. Some people eat the tacos from street vendors in Mexico City. But I’ll pass. The food trucks in my state are regulated and are a booming growth industry. Some nuts want to be able to buy raw milk. OK, but I’ll pass on paying for their health care bills if/when it bites them in the ass.

Interesting how all the non State unregulated stuff seems to stay alive in spite of the superior management.
Used to be called thursday.

All of the food we all eat at home is “non-regulated” in the sense that it too is home-made. So shut up and stop with the alarmism. You come near our local bake sales or pot-luck dinners making trouble, and I�ll get more than you can give, MotherFUCKERS.
I lived on raw milk for the first eighteen years of my life, by the way. Our whole family did, and we also ate a vastly higher percentage of home-canned foods than 99.99% of today’s population, we stored apples and potatoes in a dank basement for months into winter, and raised our own chickens, ducks and geese for eggs (which we often ate raw in unpasteurized eggnog) and meat, and nary a government puke ever inspected a bit of it. It happens that we also had the best school attendance records (fewest sick days) in our district, with some of us having perfect attendance multiples years in a row. We had our hands and feet in the dirt and our heads in the sky, and we fished from a local pond without permission, license, oversight, monitoring, training or inspection, and we rode our bikes (hard, fast and rough) without helmets. Correlation or causation? You decide.
I still gather wild foods on my walks, including wild mushrooms, I hunt and process my own game, and I pick windfall apples (that means off the ground, for you city-dwelling snowflakes) by the ton and drink unpasteurized fresh cider to the tune of fifty gallons per year. I’m 58 years old and could probably kick your pale ass if I had a mind to.
Just don’t any of you sickly, weak, flabby, cared-for, tax-payer-subsidized snowflakes, on prescription drugs for arthritis, or diabetes, cholesterol, stress, or blood pressure, or all of the above, with manicured hands and patent leather shoes, presume to educate me on matters of public health. You’ve got it almost exactly and perfectly backwards, though I understand that you’ll never realize it.
Your best bet for good health then, is to stay the fuck away from me if you’re thinking of giving me any more of that bullshit. Go preach to the fucking wall.

No problemo asshole. If you want to eat shit and call it ice cream, I’m all for it. The story was about people SELLING FOOD to others.

But some woman who incites religious tensions and files a false report about being attacked by “Trump” goons doesn’t get arrested for false reporting?
What the home cook did was violate a regulation. She should at most be fined and shut down. To jail her is insane.

“Sell this food to you? Oh, no, I can’t do that. I can sell you the recipe and give you a sample if you like.”

She is in California, hope she enjoys that socialist utopia. They wanted a bloated, overlord government and then act shocked when they get what they asked for. Sorry, not sorry that my field of fucks is completely barren, after seeing how close tuesday night was and knowing how bad things would have been if the election had gone the other way.

If it’s about “selling food to others” then it doesn’t have to do with safety, and everything to do with the government not getting their take.

Game, set, and match to TS. Yeah, .gov inspectors. Down here the local C*** decided that the hot dog stand outside the local HD could no longer keep their chili for the dogs in a covered SS pot over a steam table. So now the guy has to keep each portion in an individual container OVER THE SAAME STEAM TABLE.

Am I the only one that finds it ironic that the most popular story listed in the sidebar is a referendum that passed to allow earlier release of prisoners due to prison overcrowding?

Well, it’s apparent the single mom is not a donor to the Clinton Global Initiative.

How dare she try not to be poor?!

When it comes to food safety, shipping e. coli hamburger or salmonella peanuts to hundreds of markets in dozens of states is a lot different than selling a dozen plates of ceviche (that don’t smell like rotten fish) to people face to face.
Small scale safe food handling depends on knowledge and responsible behavior. Most states have “cottage food laws” that recognize this.

TS Says:
“If it’s about “selling food to others” then it doesn’t have to do with safety, and everything to do with the government not getting their take.”
BINGO, my friend! Your clarity of thought is refreshing.
This is anti-capitalism/anti-Americanism, parasitism SOLD TO US AS “food safety”. That so many fall for it is another subject.

Oh, and the one time I DID GET FOOD POISONING for sure? From a fully inspected and certified restaurant buffet.
And fiftycalTX; If I ever did actually eat shit, no matter what it might have been called, I’m still here to talk about it. Aren’t I? Not much of an argument there, on your part.

The real problem with this story is that it takes place in Stockton, CA. You will not find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy. The point is there are way bigger problems for the “authorities” to worry about in that hellhole than some old Mexican lady selling ceviche to other old Mexican ladies.

Back in the day when milk etc was shipped hundreds of miles in uncooled containers and then filtered and rethickened w/ food coloring, plaster of paris, and other chemicals, these rules made sense.
Now it’s the the food industry lobbyists wanting to keep control of the market and the .gov wanting to collect taxes/fees that have more to do w/ it than anything else.
