"The model Food Code is neither federal law nor federal regulation and is not preemptive."

It’s directly incorporated into state and local law. I’m arguing that deserves a challenge. It de facto sidesteps state and local lawmakers, whom I’m not convinced have the power to delegate their lawmaking power this way.

They usually have a corporate employee write the law but a federal code that has been researched is the problem?

One, everyone running away with conspiracy theories is probably the singular problem in American politics today.

But two, I have no problem with the code in general. But I don’t like this section of it and now suspect it isn’t legally constructed. So yes, it’s a problem.

Everyone is not running away with theories. Journalists are documenting facts about the actual conspiracies while internet trolls are making up the separate but equal viewpoint.

ALEC is one among many interest groups, all of which tend to exert pressure on both states and federal regulators.

You’re promulgating a false dichotomy between federal rulemaking and corrupt state lawmaking. L

Federal agencies suggesting easy to enact laws that should be affected by both parties is a strange bogeyman to have when you actually have private companies dictating legislation with a BS cash as speech argument and federal storm troopers illegally acting within the jurisdiction of states. Why are the republicans so afraid of agencies with no teeth and all for federal agencies that could really illegally enter their state and kidnap them?

(I think this is the end of the thread so I will answer you question here.. You have always had perfectly reasonable local options if the FDA code has something you disagree with, because everything is a partnership with your local government, you have absolutely no power to stop a group like the CBP from illegal road stops in your state because your State would have to start succeeding. Therefore, I find the republican claims of priorities as hypocritical as democrats given indifference appearing where it would matter if the priorities were real.)

What does this have to do with pets in restaurants?!
