Absolutely hilarious that you think a small farm has any better hygiene than a large farm.

Nobody said that, nor is it relevant. The point is if the food supply is more diversified, we are less exposed to single points of failure.

It’s absolutely relevant because a diversified food supply would result in smaller farms, other things held equal.

You have fewer single points of failure, but more opportunities for failure and a tougher time addressing it via inspection, and less capital available to implement compliance.

Imagining a guy gasping out his last words as he succumbs to life-ending diarrhea in the back of an ambulance that’s long since cut its lights and sirens, “This is the best of all possible capital allocations for hygiene compliance”

I would love to see your analysis that proves this is unequivocally worse than the current state.
