    Meanwhile in Washington state I can’t give fresh eggs laid by my chickens to a food bank because I don’t have an egg dealer license even though I’m donating them.

      You still have the option to cook the eggs and deliver a free meal to a homeless person in the street. How are your culinary skills? Alternatively, if you know a family that needs a little help, you can directly give eggs to them.

      For good reason. While you might (probably, almost certainly,) are good with food safety; a lot of people are not.

      They have to legislate/regulate for the worst.

      here in the midwest, i see random packages of frozen game meat from the food pantry every now and then. usually venison, sometimes bear… elk once, even. and not always packaged by a commercial meat locker, either.
