And so the further we go from the source of our food, the more we need someone to protect us from what might be in our food.

Some will argue that all foods should be made to conform to the same rigid safety standards, regardless of where they were produced.  But others say there is no need to govern the food neighbor sells to neighbor, after all, neighbors do tend to be very close and therefore have a lot of control over each other.  And so we ask:
