Yes, without question.

If your goal is to make certain that only corporate restaurants survive and every single independent mom & pop restaurant goes out of business leaving more revenue to be sucked out of your local communities and into the hands of a greedy few giants paying slave wages to the help - then yes, by all means necessary increase regulations to the point that you kill any independent ownership of everything and turn us into a slave nation. Did I run on a bit there?

My own opinion is that only Wal-Mart should be able to do anything in the consumer arena. Kill all independent businesses so when Marshal Law is declared the government can easily control the masses.

America, WAKE UP!

Do you remember the days when you used to go down to the local butcher, a butcher who knew you by name and knew exactly what you bought last time you were in the shop. Who knew what you ordered last Thanksgiving and who makes low salt sausages special for your hubby. Anyone old enough to remember those days.

Corporations, under the false banner of animal rights, have destroyed those wonderful days, by lobbying for heavier regulations that drove the small butcher shop out of business. Local animals used to be selected and slaughtered with a human kind touch, placing goodness and healthy energy into your meat products. The traditional slaughter techniques and small butcher shops were the very best system. Now when you get a Wal-Mart package of ground beef, as much as one-thousand different cows might be represented in that one hamburger you eat - multiplying your chances of food borne illness by a thousand. Shocking animals before slaughter does not benefit the animal, it makes it easier to find cheap labor and speeds the processing operation.

Just one of many examples why regulation is a corporate tool to kill small businesses. Don't be a fool.
