Unfortunately this bill sounds like the sort of thing his administration will put a ton of support behind and push through before it can really be looked at. The biggest good news is that the word is getting out while it is still in committee.Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02246264634887739274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6940998790649470166.post-69709502236785212982009-03-16T13:29:00.000-07:002009-03-16T13:29:00.000-07:00I'm so mad -- again -- that I could spit nails. I...I'm so mad -- again -- that I could spit nails. In the article about Obama's food safety stance that Melissa mentioned, the President claims: "The nation's food safety system is a 'hazard to public health' and overdue for an overhaul,' as he filled the top job at the Food and Drug Administration." AARGH!!! Give me a break. I couldn't read much more of the article.cmmjaimehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13123231309207232216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6940998790649470166.post-34953423318462431122009-03-16T10:18:00.000-07:002009-03-16T10:18:00.000-07:00I'm glad to see you posting about this, and I will...I'm glad to see you posting about this, and I will definitely be doing some reading of my own, and look forward to hearing more of your thoughts. <BR/><BR/>And have you heard our president thinks it is one of the governments most important jobs to regulate food safety? http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090314/ap_on_go_pr_wh/obama_food_safety<BR/><BR/>A highlight from the article: "Protecting the safety of our food and drugs is one of the most fundamental responsibilities government has." - President Obama <BR/><BR/>Another blog about this bill... http://www.campaignforliberty.com/blog.php?view=12671Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02246264634887739274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6940998790649470166.post-1898721679235083332009-03-15T20:29:00.000-07:002009-03-15T20:29:00.000-07:00It boggles my mind that they think we *can* trace ...It boggles my mind that they think we *can* trace all our food. It's like these members of Congress were absent from school the day they took the field trip to the farm to find out where food comes from. Do they think tomatoes come equipped with GPS or something, and that all we'd have to do is activate it and we'd know where each tomato went when it left the farm? and where each of those tomatoes went thereafter? Do they not know that the tomatoes get mixed up with tomatoes from other farms and then parts of them get shipped off to make salsa and others to be canned and still others to be ground up into barbecue sauce and ketchup? How the hell do they think we can track the damn things?<BR/><BR/>Geez, some people's kids...Nom de Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05153700215201399299noreply@blogger.com
