The assumption is that anyone that cares about their health will take the common-sense precaution of DNA-testing anything they consume. Or perhaps some entrepreneur will set up a business testing things for the squeamish. Thereā€™s no need for the government to get involved. Any more.

Yet another politician in the pocket of big feces. These days big feces has so much political clout that most of congress is completely full of shit.

Any business not posting a sign explaining their hand-washing policy, regardless of what it is, will be shunned.

I.e. the market will take care of it.

And their cleaning policy. And their cleaning schedule policy, and their tipping policy.
Oh, and their employment policy. And their coffee making policy, coffee-raw-materials buying policy. Corporate buying strategy deciding policy, ā€¦ And, well, yā€™know, stuff.

The sign-making market will take care of it.

Cleanliness is next to godliness, so to buy into the soap and water companiesā€™ propaganda is to blaspheme!

Pinch a loaf then shake hands to be accepted into the kingdom of heaven!

Oh, Unions were pretty much always ā€œregulatedā€ (Those with capital have always wanted the government to introduce regulation to protect their position, plus Pinkerton murderers!), but I think youā€™re right that thereā€™s not a black of white answer. The free market works OK in the hands of a government who smartly regulates its excesses (see: most European socialist-democracies). But in the US, we have the foundational problem of fundamentalist thinking, which is our tradition from the Puritans to today, and stipulates that there is One True Way of Being that is better than any others and that all of the worldā€™s problems come from failing to be true enough to that One True Way.

The American Fantasy is that ā€œthis one cool trick will lead to social prosperity for all!ā€, and itā€™s hard to disabuse a lot of us of the notion that itā€™d be easy if everyone acted Correctly.

Like dysentery and other poo relate illnesses donā€™t cause a burden to anyone.

This is what freedom of religion brings you when you stop educating yourselves also.

Itā€™s the ingredients in soap that lead to intestinal disorders, Iā€™m sure. Dysentry and diarrhea are creations of Big Soap interfering with the natural order. Nobody needs to wash their hands. Nobody ever died of diarrhea! (Except for all the people that did.)

I usually reinterpret those as ā€œknown to cause cancer in the State of Californiaā€. And pity the poor Californians.
