Since starting on my campaign, I've had a lot of people ask on what basis I could say that home cooking needs local authority oversight.
There are many reasons for this, but let's take one: equity.
Before you can provide food to anyone outside your family on a regular basis, you need to pass local authority checks (that your kitchen is hygenic, for example), and it's expected that you will have passed some sort of qualification or apprenticeship in catering.
The authority even puts their own canteens through these criteria! How much more fair can they be!
Home kitchens, which may provide nealry all the food for a child, are subject to no such checks and balances. I say again, unless they are regularly checked, how can we know children are not being fed from unsanitary, inadequate kitchens by unqualified, if well meaning, people?
Obviously, we can't.
