There is no way they will be passed. The government has worked very hard to convince the public that without state intervention, private food organizations would immediately start poisoning their customers without a second thought.
Even if a politician knows that's not true, trying to pass your proposed bills would be political suicide. Politicians are supposed to represent the will of the people, not their own beliefs about what's good for them. If I was a Wyoming legislator, I would refuse to vote.
As a libertarian, I have thought quite a lot about food inspections. If state food inspections are abolished, they should be abolished incrementally. The first step should be to still require food inspections, but to allow private inspectors.
Also, you should do a lot of research into existing laws, the effect of those laws on local businesses, talk with your representatives, and maybe even make a petition. I think that is a more reasonable way of going about this, especially if you are passionate about this.
