Food safety fascists

The logic of the fascist state is that everything must be in the state, controlled by it.  This maximizes the power of those in control of the state apparat.   They can, of course, allow 'waivers' or 'forbearance' on the rules as it fits 'public policy goals' - meaning their power goals.

But everything must be subject to the government lawyers.  Except sodomy and abortion, that is.  Hat tip Instapundit.

FOOD SAFETY MEASURE WOULD GIVE SMALL FARMERS INDIGESTION. “The ‘Food Safety Modernization Act’ would not appreciably improve the safety of the food supply in the U.S., but it would create an army of regulators with TSA-like authority over agriculture.”
