Nick,
We actually have a rudimentary version of this concept in place. The problem
is that since the USA is so large and diverse, we have regional differences
that keep us from a common standard. We don't even speak a common language. I
was just in Wisconsin and the people speak very differently than we do in South
Carolina. We finally got Johnsonville brats in the local Winn Dixie though!
Cheers,
