But they couldn’t be further from different. You have to have a health inspector visit your kitchen just to sell food at all. You need affirmative permission from the government to sell food.

The original analogy was not about selling food:

> If I give away food I have a duty not to poison you. It doesn’t matter you didn’t pay for it.

If I invite you to eat at my house, there is no health inspector and no government. I'm just giving you free food. Would you agree that I have a duty not to poison you in that case?
