Your government at work on food safety

It was reported today by the Boston Globe that 6,000 hogs have been ruled by the FDA as unsafe for human consumption, though several hundred have already been consumed.

In an essay here yesterday I mentioned that certain Ohio hogs may have been contaminated, but today's report said this is not the case.

It doesn't matter in the big picture. Several hundred hogs are, or have already, transmitted contaminates that could lead to kidney failure, and some of that meat could be in Ohio stores. Who knows? Likely not the bureaucrats whose jobs it is to stay on top of these matters and even if they know, they might not announce it to the public.

In spite of what they call their use of an "abundance of caution," they should be held criminally liable for the deaths of many pets and any human sickness or deaths that may occur from dereliction of duty, as was my thesis yesterday.

  1. You assume there are enough inspectors and such to take care of us. The criminal part of this is, there are not. The current federal administration has but back inspections and such to the very bone. Let business do as it will! That's the way they think.

  2. You assume too much about what I assume.
