Giving massive new powers to the government, rushing legislation in lame duck sessions, adding to the deficit – there is just no reason for these Republicans to be involved in all that. Obamacare already is set to give the government a stranglehold on our medical system. Do we have to give the government enhanced control over our food as well? Is too little government regulation over the food supply really the banner under which these Republicans wish to march?

Abolishing the FDA and returning control to the states would do more for food safety than this turkey of a bill increasing Federal control and growing the FDA into the TSA of food production.

The FDA needs this law to increase the size of their SWAT teams. Do you realize how many family sized dairies there are that need taking out by federal ninjas?

However, as we have learned in other contexts, yearning for change begs the question of what change will actually be and what it would actually accomplish.

Apparently it is more about change than anything else. I hope everybody has emailed or called their respective Senators.

Anybody know who wrote this turkey?

If this will limit and reduce the import of food products from China - or make this poison easier to identify - I’m for it.

Food safety?
Cost estimate (ha ha) is 1.4 billion of new spending.
Plan to hire 17,000 new government employees.
Less than 2/1000th of 1% of the population die from bad food.
