how wonderful, we have another czar. everybody knows that when you have a thorny problem, a czar is just what you need to make everything right again.”

Yes indeed! Don’t you realize that’s why America no longer has any illegal drug abuse!?

You have the blueprint this one will use; I have the experience on how to take him out. The Class Action lawsuit must IMMEDIATELY be amended to INCLUDE HIM AND HIS OFFICE. The reason? Open Industry Secret means either (1) lack of due diligence on the part of the FDA (criminal negligence) or (2) collusion to prevent disclosure of the open secret (criminal racketeering). There is no (3)…

Both (1) and (2) are legally determined after disclosure; such disclosure is now officially the mandate of this CZAR, so he is the one to include.

Just because the cost is hidden, doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist.

And just why do we need to buy grain-derived, plastic-adulterated crap from China when we grow wheat, corn, soy, and meats here in America?

Check out this article in the New York Times by Michael Pollan about the link between obesity in the U.S. and our screwed up farm subsidies.

“Doing so starts with the recognition that the “farm bill” is a misnomer; in truth, it is a food bill and so needs to be rewritten with the interests of eaters placed first. Yes, there are eaters who think it in their interest that food just be as cheap as possible, no matter how poor the quality. But there are many more who recognize the real cost of artificially cheap food — to their health, to the land, to the animals, to the public purse. At a minimum, these eaters want a bill that aligns agricultural policy with our public-health and environmental values, one with incentives to produce food cleanly, sustainably and humanely. Eaters want a bill that makes the most healthful calories in the supermarket competitive with the least healthful ones. Eaters want a bill that feeds schoolchildren fresh food from local farms rather than processed surplus commodities from far away. Enlightened eaters also recognize their dependence on farmers, which is why they would support a bill that guarantees the people who raise our food not subsidies but fair prices. Why? Because they prefer to live in a country that can still produce its own food and doesn’t hurt the world’s farmers by dumping its surplus crops on their markets.”

FDA: Feed no human threat

“But David Acheson, FDA assistant commissioner for food protection, said there is little threat to human health because the proportion of melamine in the original pet food was less than 6%”

IMHO, New bureaucrat - same old song and dance.

Oh, yes this is a great opportunity for the Columbian Drug Lords and Panama Red sales should be increasing drastically.

How much more damage is he going to cause before his term is finally over. Is Cuba next on his list?

I noticed GW and Laura made a video appearance on American Idol tonight. I was waiting for him to comment on the mess in his country, but then I realized there’s more than one mess so he probably couldn’t pick one.

I saw that & was stupidly waiting for him to say something too. Of course there is more than one mess, it was that a$$ of a president on the video. ;)
