Actually, it is.
Ever seen a US gov't bureaucracy that was efficient, productive, and served the the interests of the public, while staying within budget, and delivering on its stated mission?
Or, perhaps you may have noticed that the exact opposite ALWAYS happens with gov't agencies?
I think our military does an exceptional job in all these respects even though they don't get nearly the budget they deserve. I also think our police do a great job under difficult circumstances. I'm partial to firemen who charge into places people are rushing to get out of. I also respect the FBI for chasing down and finding terrorists and other thugs who would do harm to innocents. And I certainly don't begrudge the prosecutors who go toe to toe with organized crime and other criminals that need to be removed from society.

The FDA is a nightmare of red tape and bureaucracy but, even so, it is a hell of a lot better than what existed before. Food Freedom is a bunch of crazy people making crazy claims that only crazy people believe. There is a lot in this bill I don't agree with -- especially given who is supporting and pushing it -- but it doesn't call for any of the craziness that's being claimed on this thread. The part I copied and pasted earlier is no cause for alarm and is a common sense approach to managing problems within an industry that refuses to manage itself.
There's enough real news to get crazy about out there without getting all jacked up over the fears being fabricated here.
