It's nice to know, but you don't need a license for that.  I have taken 5 of the
USDA and VA courses in food handling and food safety (not to mention all my
experience in food service of one type or another over the years).  Most people
who know me (and my obsessivness about safe food handling) would never think
twice while eating something I have cooked, but I have no license that states
that I am safe.  If we set the expectaion that this is a necessary thing, are we
doing a disservice to people like me who see no reason to get a piece of paper
that says what our counterparts know about us?
