FDA fails to keep people safe


The cry goes out for more tax money

Think about this one.

The FDA is charged with monitoring food safety.

The FDA is not only unable to do their job, they don't admit it until someone calls them on it.

The Food and Drug Administration has known for years about contamination problems at a Georgia peanut butter plant and on California spinach farms that led to disease outbreaks that killed three people, sickened hundreds, and forced one of the biggest product recalls in U.S. history, documents and interviews show.

Overwhelmed by huge growth in the number of food processors and imports, however, the agency took only limited steps to address the problems and relied on producers to police themselves, according to agency documents.

In my mind, this helps make the case for private alternatives.

When was the last time you heard about Underwriter's Laboratories being overwhelmed?
