It amazes me that we need a bill to protect food. If the food comes from outside the borders of the US, then it should be checked for safety.

When I think about this, I have to wonder why we worry about food safety when the US government allows people to cross the borders bringing in a resurgence of communicable diseases that we had under control or wiped out.

We have whooping cough back, drug resistent TB, polio, MRSA, to name a few.

Odd times we live in.

It does - by giving lots of money to the originating countries.
