Glad it made it through. :)
Sadly, I don'...Woo! Glad it made it through. :)<br /><br />Sadly, I don't think the problem is *all* the FDA. It's the government regulation mindset that is just so prevalent in society. The Nanny State run amok.<br /><br />I do agree that the FDA is a part of it, though.<br /><br />I love getting a Dawnie rant. :)Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00722667383694168074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5728697892979323999.post-27246687268417262082011-08-16T21:50:23.260-07:002011-08-16T21:50:23.260-07:00Woo Hoo...it worked!

I will not, repeat, will NOT rant on this. I could, of course, and go off on a diatribe about Monsanto and how crooked they are, in bed w/ the FDA, etc., and how said FDA is becoming a Nazi-like presence in our country. I'll leave it at that one pointed remark, though, and just say that this is a travesty of "justice" and due process. Shameful, really. Absurd. Waste of tax payers' dollars, etc., etc. Okay, so maybe I'm ranting a wee bit. The whole thing is just ridiculous and I, like everyone else, feel badly for the message that is being communicated to these kids. Very sad. I wish I had a solution, but the one I do have would involve zapping the FDA (and Monsanto) out of existence, permanently. One can dream, I guess! :)<br /><br />~ DawnieHealing Morninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03236609802381940498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5728697892979323999.post-19790379557429822062011-08-06T10:45:34.804-07:002011-08-06T10:45:34.804-07:00Raquel, I couldn't have said it better myself....Raquel, I couldn't have said it better myself. If this is our future, I guess it's good that the kids learn it early, though. *scoff*<br /><br />Knotty, it's sad, but I think they have too much to do, because they're being told they have to enforce this stuff.<br /><br />The problem comes from much higher than the inspector who is supposed to carry this stuff out.<br /><br />Thanks for the comments, ladies!! There should be a public outcry about this sort of thing.Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00722667383694168074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5728697892979323999.post-69237651402602608462011-08-06T09:06:02.600-07:002011-08-06T09:06:02.600-07:00I feel sorry for those kids.

I suppose the government would prefer that these children become depressed due to not being able to have a lemonade stand, resort to drinking the day of the 21st birthday, become raging alcoholics, and file for social security disability (because alcoholism is a disease ya know)! <br /><br />The easiest way to 'fix' this is to have a exclusion to the health/tax/licensing laws: nothing is necessary if the proprietor is under 12 years of age. (Duh!)<br /><br />***** On a side note: I am organizing a fund raiser and we plan to have food there. Since it is for charity, I figured I didn't have to worry about licenses and such. After reading this article I did some investigating. WRONG! I am suppose to apply for a temporary permit, $33.50. Seriously? To serve tacos and soda? I don't think so.Raquel Speetzennoreply@blogger.com
