Next up, @jast, is haunted by FDA Enforcement Officers investigating his illegal distillers grain business…
(I have a much more entertaining story in mind but I have not yet found a link.)
Geez!
That’s… urking.
Well, maybe the folks in this thread

Write your congressperson. The Trump administration is less likely to dump poorly thought-through regulations and their associated costs like this on businesses than predecessor…

I am reminded why I cannot understand the popularity of this format of information conveyance (I supposed some might say ‘entertainment’, but that’s using the phrase too loosely, in my experience). I’m too low-brow, I guess. 
I just wanted to reach through the “radio” and YANK the information out of them. And if I could silence the female-sounding voice while I was at it, all the better.

The other article linked in the page Brian provided, in addition to the original link, suggests that many interpretations of the legislation draw breweries into the need to package and quality test their by-product to ensure Current Good Manufacturing Practices (CGMPs) for animal food production is followed/met/complied with…
I don’t really read it that way, but like most legislation, it is sufficiently ambiguous as to allow lawyers on both sides to profit…
Boing Boing tends to over dramatize.

Thank goodness I did not disappoint!
