Her Dad should have posted a caveat emptor sign on her lemonade stand, you know, to warn would-be-buyers; "This LEMONADE STAND has not been inspected by the HEALTH DEPARTMENT, and this four-year-old girl did not, and WILL NOT, apply for a PERMIT. FREEDOM-LOVING INDIVIDUALS, LINE UP HERE".

I have read a few articles relating to this subject, and I have noticed that the majority of comments come down on the side of the government. Public safety, contaminated lemonade, no exceptions, etc.

All they need to do is hype one case—real or fabricated—of people getting salmonella from a lemonade stand and you'll see just about all the rest of the sheep swing over to the side of government.

So considering the publicity this issue is currently receiving, I would not be surprised to see a lemonade-stand salmonella hoo-ha before the end of the summer. The "government knows best" meme shall not be challenged.
