After reading this post on Overlawyered:

http://overlawyered.com/2010/09/timothy-sandefur-the-right-to-earn-a-living/

I ordered the book “The Right to Earn a Living.” It is, as one would expect, rather dry, but at the same time well written, educational, and a great read.

If things like the milk = oil scandals astound and bother you, “The Right to Earn a Living” will leave your jaw on the floor.

well, on the subject of trusting the FDA, let’s remember this golden oldie from the EPA. a while back the EPA noticed that milk contains fatty oils. So, they reasoned, milk could be reclassified as an oil.

So then they said to dairy farmers all across the nation, that they must take steps to prevent spills.

So they aren’t crying over spilled milk but instead putting on onerous regulations to prevent the spill in the first place.

And yes, that harms small farmers more than others. http://legalinsurrection.blogspot.com/2010/06/milk-is-oil.html

So we certainly cannot trust the government as long as obama is in office, that is for sure.
