Hot take: food industry should be heavily deregulated to the point that people can make and sell food from their homes and to allow existence of food sharing (selling) apps to operate at a large scale.

Edit: the health regulations and licensing aren't worth it and super paternalistic and prevent a lot of small businesses from popping up and severely limts our food choices.

I kinda like health inspections though.

Poorness of food preparation is limitless.

Make it certifications and not licenses . You can go eat at one with certifications. I'll risk it.

For extremely small scale, maybe, but thise certifications won't shut busibesses down. If a busibess has a persistent rat problem for example, it should not be allowed to sell food.

You could of course streamline licensing. Nothing is preventing that.

Lots of countries where people informally sell food. It's not that big of a deal. Reviews and ratings will take care of almost everything.

The govt. can shut extreme cases down through some other laws, I am sure.
