Within the last ten days, Brian Williams did a feature on the human food supply on the nightly news....I don't know which network he's on, I sort of caught it in passing. They interviewed a couple of ex-FDA employees who were ready to spill the probably contaminated beans. One was named Kessler, as I recall.
Onward to google!

Interesting piece called The Feds and the Pharms - Part 2,The FDA. Kessler was head of the FDA and very controversial for all the rules he imposed...The very antithesis of free trade, but he might be a powerful champion now for those of us who prefer a safe food supply to party planks.
In addition to the food supply, drugs are an issue as they are possibly made with imported ingredients as well. On a recent thread, someone posted a long list of FDA rejected products in March, which included products made in China by “Johnson & Johnson,” those nice Band-Aid folks. The concept of an old and trusted brand is quickly flying out the window in today’s new NAFTA world.
The flip side of regulation is the odious Codex Alimentarius, the UN’s attempt to regulate (steal) our right to take vitamins and other food supplements that would make us healthier than folks living in mud huts in Ghana. Big Pharma wants to sell us Vitamin C for $50 as a prescription med, you see. The UN studies are funded by Bayern, the German pharma company that makes Bayer Aspirin etc etc etc.
