It's wonderful to know that our new food "safety" bill will soon put an end to all these problems. I'm sure it will be just as effective and efficient as all the other government safety(wink wink)bills have been in the past, while cutting costs at the same time (of course). Thank God we have government to head off all of these threats to our health and well being lest we'd all get sick and die.

Yes, 9:56, thank God that Salmonella will be outlawed very soon. Once it is arrested and put in jail, I hope they give it the death penalty instead of life, as if it ever gets out on parole, we'll all be in trouble!

The government lies and works for / protects corporations who manufacture food in unsanitary methods. They want to prevent you and me from having home grown foods.
