Political Crossfire Forums

While many GOP lawmakers were busy deciding whether they think parents should vaccinate their children in the midst of a freak measles outbreak, freshman Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) has concerned himself with another case of freedom-inhibiting overreach in the liberal war on bacteria: the requirement that food industry workers wash their hands in the bathroom.

Don't get vaccinated, (disease runs rampant) don't wash your hands, (bacterial and fecal contamination of food) no regulations on chemical plants (explosions and contamination galore). Seriously, do these people believe in this or are they just spewing nonsense?

Apparently the 18th century values that conservatives hold so dear now include the sanitary and public health standards of the time.

Probably because foodborne illness kills 3000 people a year in the US, and hospitalizes another 100,000.

VERRRRRRRY simple fix here. If this clown doesn't want the fascism of the gov't mandating that food industry workers wash their hands, no problemo.

What the gov't will mandate is that those firms/restaurants that choose not to mandate this CLEARLY LABEL their product packages and/or establishments with the message that "WE DO NOT MANDATE EMPLOYEE HAND-WASHING."

Then let the free market do its work.
