Keep in mind that Calvin will most likely have to pass the cost of complying with those regulations on to those eager buyers...that, too, is a fact of life. There are better, more econimcal ways of assuring product quality than relying on bloated government bureaurocacy. Free market self-regulation through voluntary association and certification would create a win-win situation for both producer and consumer.
