Food-safety lawsinspections, warning labels, and mandatory hand washing by food preparersmake good sense. Linnekin, an attorney specializing in food law, agrees that all rules aren't bad, but his stance on government involvement in the food system (particularly by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and FDA) can simply be described as less is best. He contends that government oversight of food policy has resulted in the obstruction of sustainable food practices and extensive food waste. He believes that fewer rules would spawn a superior food system. Linnekin cites many examples of how too many regulations, bad laws, layers of bureaucratic red tape, and unintended consequences work against an ideal food system, including the USDA National School Lunch Program ( promotes food waste on a massive scale ), farm subsidies, bycatch (collection of nontargeted marine life), spent grains, and ugly produce (bruised, distorted-appearing fruit or vegetables). Linnekin is fervent about flawed policy. His book cleverly and precisely decries how the federal government's rules and restrictions regarding food are a serious disservice to producers and consumers alike.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2016, American Library Association.)
