Just wanted to say that I’m very much looking forward to your upcoming panel discussion. I think we have all learned a tremendous amount from all interaction and networks we have created and it will be great to talk about the state of things and what steps we can take to improve food safety for both our animal companions and ourselves.

Is everyone else ready for another action-packed week in the zany world of the FDA? I for one don’t know if I can take anymore.
