| Message | Article 3 is agreeable, Article 2 is a bit questionable (how far does it apply? Can I not sell some cakes at a garage sale?) and Article 1 confuses me (could I not, as a teenager, be permitted to consume a small amount of alcohol by parents?). Can you explain this? |

| Message | well the point of article 1 is that no alcohol is sold to children. Of course you can drink alcohol in the pivacy of your home, with your parents for example... Article 2: well what's good about shelf lives for food if the food isn't stored properly? we need a licensing system to check if the food is cared for properly... |
