I am in the process of getting a business centered on flavor open. I have worked over a quarter century in spices and food including a decade in Oakland and even more time in Milwaukee and Wisconsin. Ckbk collector and punk in the fugazi sense.

I could be wrong about this but I really think most Americans do not want to be forced to “do their own research” about food & drug & product safety and would rather that the government agencies that have been sorting that all out for them for decades not be obliterated in the name of “efficiency.”
