What if you needed a full commercial grade license and permit to give some home baked cookies to your co-workers?

edit: Or if we go to the extreme of nothing except the action and potential for negative impact mattering then you'd need a license to give those cookies to your own kids or even yourself.

If those co-workers end up in the hospital due to those cookies, better be prepared for talking to some police officers and possible class action depending on what happens to them.

That's not the analogy here. Nothing happens. No one is hurt. Everyone loved the cookies. The government however fines you a massive amounts for just providing the cookies that may hurt them potentially but don't actually.
