But at least they're supposed to follow government regs for food storage and prep. You can never tell what sorts of storage and cooking conditions are present in private homes, but I would be okay with being allowed to sell food if it's clearly posted that the food was prepared in an uninspected kitchen. I really don't think it will stop most people from buying, and at least it will be with informed consent. I buy cookies and etc. at neighborhood bake sales to support good causes and I don't really dwell on the condition of the cook's kitchen. I just eat them and enjoy.
