Was S.510 crafted by large business to run small business out, I don't know...but it sure sucks.

The FDA food safety czar is former Monsanto VP Michael Taylor. Huge conflict of interest.

Moving this video to GeeSussFreeK's personal queue. It failed to receive enough votes to get sifted up to the front page within 2 days.

There's still real farmers? Don't worry though the corporations that own this country and write the damn laws will take care of that shit.

I wrote a column about this: http://www.dailynebraskan.com/opinion/hale-food-safety-law-raises-prices-puts-unreliable-fda-in-charge-1.2418320

They edited the lead, which should have read: The Senate passed a bill Tuesday designed to overhaul the nation's food-safety system. Unfortunately, like the spinach and peanuts it's designed to protect you against, many of the arguments surrounding the bill are full of shit.

Ohhh an actual writer, interesting! I lean libritarian, so I never know if I am overreacting, but this does seem like a bunch of BS that will once again favor large business while also not increasing food safety in any noticeable way.
