Example:If you want to produce and sell Milk in America, you must have a Milk Handler license. This assures the consumers that the Milk they are drinking is safe and will not harm them.
I agree with the government getting involved in the process of making milk. Without the government, there would be no guarantee that the milk we drink is safe.
Example:If you want to produce and sell Milk in America, you must have a Milk Handler license. This assures the consumers that the Milk they are drinking is safe and will not harm them.
I disagree with the government getting involved in the process of making milk. Getting a license and following a bunch of rules makes it too hard for dairy farmers to make money. The government doesn’t have to force producers to make good and safe milk. If the milk is bad, no one will buy it.
