      Montana farmer Dena Hoff has her freezer stocked with meat from animals born and raised on her own property. But if she sells any amount to a neighbor, she would be a criminal.

      2/ First, safety of food is actually a public good, and it's a little tricky because it's a blind good - you can't tell by looking at a piece of meat if it's been handled safely or not. So this is an area where certification / testing / validation by "experts" has utility.

      3/ Second, while we can absolutely certify food handling by private actors, if the government were to do this, it's some of the low-hanging fruit where government involvement is least offensive, has the highest ROI, etc. If we dismantle the regulatory state >>>

      4/ we should first get rid of insane stuff like "1,000 hours of instruction in washing hair" and "a master's degree in 'education' before you're allowed to teach", and get rid of butchering regulations closer to last, if we rank order stuff by ROI

      5/ I'd love to live in the world where anyone can butcher and sell meat, and anyone can buy it, as long as it's truthfully labelled (e.g. "processed in a SamCo Butcher location; see http://samco.com  for inspection reports and training certificates!")

      6/ And we already live in a world where I can raise a pig, slaughter it, and sell the whole carcass (or half of it) to a friend who trusts my cleanliness and skill. I've done that, and I've bought a cow carcass off a friend and butchered it myself.

      7/ The regulations aren't really that bad, as far as regulations go. Carcasses and halves have a pretty low surface to volume ratio, and contamination happens on the surface, so selling wholes and halves is pretty safe.

      8/ Ground meat is terrifying, though. The entire outer surface is torn up and mixed into the center. This is a disease breeding ground. I would not buy ground meat except from a processor I REALLY trusted.

      9/ No one big thesis here - the take aways are (a) regulations are bad, (b) but some are terrible and some aren't that onerous, (c) butchering regulations are at the not-terribly-onerous side, (d) markets almost always do better than government monopolies. exeunt

          10/ RT @LibertyFarmNH I liked the idea of ancap-scheme liability over criminal law more before I really saw that the kind of people who break laws are *also* the kind of people who are judgement-proof b/c there's just no value there to grab back in compensation.

          What's the effectiveness of removing these food regulations in favor of robust support for suing for damages? Certainly there's a range somewhere within the category of "mishandled/misprepared food" that equates to poisoning someone

          They were pretty onerous to the small local locker industry. When lockers that had been running fine for 80 years faced new regulations which largely required them to be gutted and interior surfaces all replaced with plastic or stainless it was too much. Many closed
