Which is why the Commerce Clause is the most abused power in the COTUS.
ANYTHING is under national regulation. I buy flour from out of state. The Feds can regulate my pizza.
The farmer up the road sells milk that ends up in another state, therefore if he sells milk to me, which is decidedly NOT "interstate", he is NOT selling that very same milk out of state which, VIOLA!, suddenly effects interstate commerce so it IS interstate commerce!
Ridiculous! Asinine! Stupid!
