It is great that in the article someone posits that "the free market" would take care of the hand washing issue, so long as companies posted signs saying that they don't require hand washing.
Which requires the follow-up question, who's enforcing the sign posting?

Hand-washing requirements are about the most inane and impossible to enforce thing that could be introduced besides wearing gloves whilst pooping. If someone doesn't wash their hands, a sign that says they gotta isn't going to make them (one might compare it to the TSA. It's there to make the people who don't work there feel better) and there isn't, to my knowledge, any enforcement arm of the CDC dedicated to hand-washing requirements. Nor should there be. Because that's stupid as well. Just more stupid and more wasteful than needless signage.
That said, there are much better examples of government overreach, and much larger points of concern revolving around governmental interaction with the private sector (subsidies, military contracting, banking and market regulations being either too lenient or too strict varying on size of the company involved instead of broad law, etc.)

I have seen fines and penalties levied by health inspectors catching employees not washing their hands, though. It *does* exist as a thing.
Expecting companies that serve products for physical consumption to follow appropriate sanitation procedures isn't inane, it's essential to preventing a hell of a lot of lawsuits.

They accompany employees into the bathroom?
These health inspectors are sounding incredibly creepy to me.

Then once he finished eating, we'll inform him that no one involved in making his dinner bothered to adhere to hand washing regulation.

So in other words a food truck? You don't have to tell him that. It's sort of an understanding that comes with getting food from one.
