Terrified of the competition, that is. The ARA lobbied Congress to pass cripplingly strict sanitary laws regarding taco trucks, in an attempt to put them out of business. Know what? The food trucks just comply with the regulations, that's all. Not only do they stay in business, but the sanitary laws ensure that food you get from a food truck with be fresh, appetizing, and prepared under the strictest sanitary laws imaginable.

The ARA kind of fucked themselves on that one...
