Opinion sans clue presented as fact. I guess this is standard for Hacker News these days. Your conclusions are specious and imply that the behavior is totally illegal; it is merely overly difficult.
Frankly, you should be ashamed to post such entrepreneur-hostile crap on HN.
Food is a high-risk, low-margin business with enormous capacity for differentiation. Because the choices are highly nonlinear, a great deal of experimentation is necessary and useful.
So allowing entrepreneurs to de-risk some of that is extremely positive for the greater good.

your throwing in "nonlinear" when referring to food choices, and your coinage (no? just copying then?) of the term "de-risk" are what I identify as the most entrepreneur-hostile patterns in this thread. HN used to be better than this!
