the FDA Food Safety Modernization Act (S 510) is going to be voted on tonight. the house voted on its version in 2009.michael pollan and eric schlosser did a nice op-ed in the nytimes yesterday about the whole thing (no surprise there). they actually mention that americans were outraged about the Wright County Egg inspection and salmonella scandal of late summer, which i don't really believe.
but they ended with a super quote from teddy roosevelt (who is always awesome):
“Unfortunately,” he said, “the misdeeds of those who are responsible for the abuses we design to cure will bring discredit and damage not only upon them, but upon the innocent stock growers, the ranchmen and farmers of this country.”pretty sure that says it all.
