Dismal Scorecard For FDA

As pet owners were struggling to find something they felt was safe to feed their cats and dogs, the federal government announced that the nation’s human food supply was at risk too, pork products at risk because farmers had fed their pigs the salvaged contaminated pet food, those products which had been found to have been contaminated by melamine, a substance not approved for food in the United States. The food that was suspected of killing cats and dogs was being fed to animals meant for human consumption.

This is what happens when you put corporatists in charge of regulating industry! They want to starve the beast and say that government is dysfunctional. Then they’ll privatize regulation too! Corporations are horrible at self regulation they can’t police themselves it’s impossible. We need a functioning government again!
