I once worked as a Quality Control Tech in several large food processing plants in the early 80's.
It was required that an office be provided in the plant for the USDA inspector.
For the three years I was in that industry I NEVER saw any USDA inspector.

On the other hand, the Rabbi tasked with making sure everything was kosher was there every month.
He didn't require an office.

Our food security is like FAA security was before last month. It was exposed long ago and never fixed.

Ain't it wonderful?

Just as the police only show up after a crime has been committed, the only time the USDA shows up at any of these processing plants is after a salmonella outbreak. Then they show up in droves to bluster around, act shocked, and take names.

America needs to get over The Jungle, by Upton Sinclair, the book which manufactured the concensus for the creation of the FDA.
