The state of Florida pays $375,000 a year for inspectors who make sure the 285 hog farmers who still use garbage to slop their hogs follow state regulations. The program exists even though there are no known public-health problems caused by feeding hogs garbage and table scraps.

[Ed.: The original logic of the modern regulatory state was to plug up a free society's holes. The logic is now such that regulation itself must be a lattice-like structure that is itself free of holes.]
