Does this contamination result from imported food from a third world country or does it result from lack of federal oversight? We know the Bush administration has been quietly stripping our federal inspectors of any power or resources to do their job. Has there been a rule change allowing laxer standards on farm safety or has funding been stripped from the agencies within the Department of Agriculture or FDA that ensure food safety?
If so, I think we have an election issue here. Safety of our food supply is one part of the war on terrorism.
