Street Vendors and even brick and mortar restaraunts are getting raided by the fda administration. As well as local governments with too much power. The US government is protecting major corporations, such as corn syrup producers, and major restaurant chains while stomping on the freedoms of mobile cart vendors, and restaurant owners who chose to server things like raw milk, fresh fruits, and other healthier ingredients in their foods. This is a shame that the United States government and local and state authorities are wasting not only the people’s money, by raiding these food stores with swat teams, but they are wasting the money and profits of these local businesses by destroying their way to make a living. You can see in one of the videos, a food inspector is throwing all of one restaurants food into a garbage barrel and then throwing bleach on it. This doesn’t look like regulation, this looks like mafia style thuggery. Although, it’s not quite as dramatic as burning down her business, you can see how awful these regulators are treating local business owners. The government is basically saying, do it our way. (and support big business) or get shut down. (which also supports big business). If this is truly a capitalist society, then why do we not have the right to chose our own ingredients in our ice cream? Why do we not have the freedom to drink raw milk, understanding that there are health risks? And instead of raiding raw milk producers, why are we NOT raiding the Tobacco industry, or the breweries? Don’t those products come with risks? This is a good example of how big food has the government in their pocket, and are doing whatever they can to push the little guys out of the competition. I say, food vendors across the nation should form together and create a lawsuit against major food producers and major restaurant chains for violating their rights and forming an illegal monopoly.
