Huh?

This kid is trying to run a business, not just set up a cupcake stand. Applicable law requires a seperate kitchen (as it does almost everywhere in this country). And I'm betting the applicable law also defines the difference between businesses and a kid's cookie or cupcake stand.

The mom said:

. . . she wasn’t looking for special consideration for her daughter and would be willing to get the necessary licenses and permits to run a business.

“But a separate kitchen? Who can do that?” Heather Stirling said.

So yes, the mom is looking for special consideration for her daughter, consideration that says the law doesn't apply to her.

If this kid has adult dreams and wants to chase them, she needs to accept the adult responsibility that comes with the chase.

There are MILLIONS of illegals doing business in the USA and the goverment does nothing. The illegals do more than $200 a month.

We need cupcake reform.

Yeah, something tells me that the local health inspector isn't really in the position to do much about deporting undocumented aliens.

Nice try, though, Max.

That's what I was going to say.

Dee, that's terrible about your friend. She sounds so kind! I wonder what would have happened if she had kept cooking and just refused when people offered her money.

Fail. ARe you flipping on your applicable law requirements? YOUR main point was the kid was running a business and applicable law. There are MANY agencies that regulate business. Illegals do billions worth of illegal business. Do you think there are any applicalbe law issues that apply?

So what exactly are you trying to say?

That because illegals, there should be no enforcement of a health code and other laws?

The point is there are bigger fish to fry.

Her first point was the kid was running a business. I say go after the bigger business with many times the violations. Her next excuse is the kid is in the food service business and my point is go after the food vendors doing MILLIONS of dollars in business. Have you ever seen the back of a busy restaurant, slaughter house or the inside of a food processing plant?


YOu are worried about a kid selling cupcakes to a few family friends.
What is your point? Are you saving the world by eliminate $200 worth of illegal cupcakes that are probably healthier than most of the slop you eat at a restaurant?

How do you know there are bigger or other fish to fry? How do you know the government in this municipality isn't already doing everything it can to make sure everyone complies with the health code?

Sure—the main one being that only the federal government has the power to deport. State and local governments, including health inspection agencies, do not have that power. What the local health inspector did here is irrelevant to questions of what the federal government is or isn't doing about undocumented aliens.
