This is a matter of labelling and clearly stating that something is home-produced, like eggs, for example. I remember, as a child, when too many eggs were produced on the farm in the summer, they were brought to the local co-op to be sold. Obviously, we were not subjected to the same degree of regulation or maybe we were but acted unlawfully in selling off those extra eggs. If we did, I do not think we did anything wrong. While I acknowledge that regulation is required, we cannot go too far without strangling small businesses. We need to allow food businesses, particularly small kitchen enterprises, to develop.
