Saturday at the market

We're doing our Saturday ritual — a trip to the Pennsylvania Dutch Market in Kingston with our nephew for fruit, vegetables and a quick lunch.

  1. I like the Pennsylvania Dutch Market but I do wish they would give you a receipt. Many (maybe all) of their packaged food products have no nutrition facts labeling. I thought it was a law that most food products had to have nutrition facts labeling? I guess there must be some loop hole in the law. Oh but wait, goofertarians (libertarians) want government out of our lives and so they are happy with no nutrition food labeling, no food inspections. Just leave it to private industry to police itself, that\’s worked out so well in the past (NOT).

  2. Yeah, that pesky freedom of religion stuff. Just gets in the way of \”healthy eating\”. Like telling you Twinkies are bad for you.And, I guess since there is no food labeling, Hank is writhing on the floor having been poisoned.LOL!Will there be problems if we have to hold people accountable for what they do to their fellow man? Sure.Will it cost as much as all this loss of freedom, regulation, and ineffective stuff? I will assert not by a long shot.Remember: You have your regulatory paradise now, and stuff happens. Guess that means more regulation. This reminds me of watching Gordon Ramsey trying to fix broken restaurants, and he finds the kitched disgusting, but everyone of those have passed the gooferment health inspection. How?Let\’s take flight to the Land of Liberty. As a restaurant owner I get reviewed by Michelin who has Ramsey come in and examine me. Think I\’ll get a Michelin Star if I am dirty?Sigh.It has worked out in the past. You just choose not to see it. Remember the Channel 7 film of rats in the KFC with the NYC Helth Department\’s A rating in the window? Selective memory. Guess we need MORE laws and more checkers to check the checkers.Argh!
