MORE REGULATION: Senate passes bill to boost food safety.
Despite wide bipartisan support, the legislation stalled as it came under fire from advocates of buying locally produced food and operators of small farms, who say it could bankrupt some small businesses. Senators agreed before Congress left for Thanksgiving to exempt some of those operations from costly food safety plans required of larger companies.
What they don’t tell you is how much this regulation will add to the cost of putting dinner on the table.

[Update & bump] Corporate welfare?
