This interesting bit of news from the Washington Post:

GOP Senator Tom Coburn from Oklahoma is holding up a food saftey bill because he’s afraid it will add to the deficit.

All the more reason to have home gardens and raise your own chickens….

GOP senator says he will hold up food safety bill

WASHINGTON — A Republican senator is threatening to hold up food safety legislation that would give the Food and Drug Administration more power to prevent outbreaks, saying Democrats must find a way to pay for it.

More….

Many people didn't. That's why we have an FDA.

I gotta love republican thinking. Fighting a war install social welfare states in countries of people they hate is small government. Regulating food safety is totally unnecessary bureaucracy

Complete horse shit.

Leftist power mongers site small statics, out of context, to create problems where there are none. They do this to gain power for themselves.

The fact is that the FDA does more harm than good because it drives up the costs of bringing life saving medicines to market and it also prohibits life saving medicines from entering the market that are on the market in Europe and Japan. The Europeans and Japanese DO NOT die more frequently from bad drugs than Americans. We waste time and money for no reason.

The U.S. has the most screwed up government in the entire developed world. It's time that change.

What kind of education did you have that you haven't even read The Jungle?

A more modern education than 1906 when the Jungle was written, including numerous trips to more than 25 countries in Europe, Asia and Latin America.

Dude, you are living in the past. Put the joint down, clear the smoke, and take a look at reality.

Dude, you are living in the past. Put the joint down, clear the smoke, and take a look at reality.

The Jungle explains the reasons the FDA was created. Which is why I asked after someone said there was no reason for the FDA. There absolutely was. The only reason we are living in the past in re: to food safety is because of the FDA.

Furthermore with tainted food from Mexico and China, that need still exists.

Visiting the world isn't an education it's a holiday.
