The [spinach lettus beef] outbreaks have sparked demands to create a new federal agency in charge of food safety. ... Schumer and Hillary Rodham Clinton... are sponsoring legislation authored by Sen. Richard Durbin... to create the unified Food Safety Agency.

Right. Like the department of homeland security, it will be a sweetheart deal between the government and selected nonprofits to run it. It will deny American citizens the right to elected representation and will enrich some hand selected groups, pretty much like the environmental laws have given the Nature Conservancy a multibillion dollar portfolio of some of the choicest formerly privately own lands in the nation.

Americans need to stop this behemoth government now!

Hmmm....I thought that was what the FDA was supposed to do already?....I think environmentalism is to blame. Recycle this, recycle that, no pesticide this, no pesticide that, no DDT this, no DDT that, cut corners here, cut corners there. All for the same of Organicism, California is one of the worst environmentalist kook-oh enclaves of nuts I've ever seen or heard of. I'm not buying produce from Callie ever again if I can help it....
