[MR] cheap/free food handling certification site

[Alric]

Your Grace,
I believe the difference between a permit (as you indicated, issued by 
the local health department) and the food handler certification is;
Certification = 'I have taken the class and proved I understand the 
material'
Permit = Health Dept has looked over your operation and deemed it safe 
(as of issuance of the permit), follow up inspections required.

I believe some health department rules require a certified food handler 
for an event or location to obtain a permit.

I imagine the original post was for folks to have an opportunity to 
learn about safe food handling for a gathering and even to benefit their 
camps at Pennsic.
