Selling and distributing food needs regulation for packaging, labeling, and inspection to protect the consumer. That makes sense when it comes to supermarkets and restaurants. However, increasingly such regulation stands in the way of local food entrepreneurs who sell directly to local consumers. Newly proposed legislation in Montana, Wyoming, and California would loosen restrictions on millions of small food entrepreneurs in those states. The bills would enable the entrepreneurs to thrive while offering more choices to consumers. As one legislator put it: “Eating what we choose should never be a crime”.
Deregulation bills support local and home-made foods
