For while they have spooked their followers with tales of evildoers in the guise of A-rabs, Mexicans,frenchmen and Regulators they will be smitten by the plaque they helped perpetrate.
May their spews and gas and howles combine to the approximate notes of "God Bless the USA" in full tribute to the masquerade.
Meanwhile, back at the "Liberal Media" an insider had a documented story of how FDA regulators were called in from the field, but was turned down by the New York Times and Boston Globe.

Maybe if we had fewer damnfool environmental regulations in the US we could cheaply grow our food here instead of having it grown overseas?
The main thrust of the article is that the FDA is undermanned. No kidding, with regulations on soil runoff, nitrates (from natural sources yet), and bogus science like the Alar scare (since when did Meryl Streep get a college degree in chemistry, or did the Congress want "face time" with a popular actress?) it behooves food producers to outsource.
Shoot, Amish have been harassed by the PA state DEP for "pollution" because they use manure for fertilizer. If there isn't a practice aside composting which is more "sustainable" than using animal wastes I'm not aware of it.
Except that the manure generates "nitrates" which "foul the chesapeake bay". The Amish have been doing this literally for centuries, so what is so novel about it today?
Developers in Lancaster coveted Amish land. While I have no direct evidence it sure is convenient that the Amish moved away after selling farm land that belonged to their families for generations to housing developers.
Conflict of Interest? Oh no, not at all....
In any case, if the US would knock off the Gaia worship, let people grow food and implement reasonable environmental standards we would not need to import food, and hence the FDA probably could do the job with existing manpower.

Greetings kind sir. Hope all is well. I have been having an FDA tussle with a friend of ine on his blog, though of a different topic. Seems the FDA on Jan 23rd allowed Genron Corp to start human trials involving one of the protected embryonic stem cell lines. What is unique about this is that in May of 2008, the FDA put a clinical hold on the very same trial. The only difference I can find between then and now is there is a new Acting Comissioner of the FDA (as of Jan 20th), so to my knowledge something is either being ideologically driven, or the study has been significanty altered, thoguh I can find no evidence of either/or.
