I am proud to be a major sponsor of the 5th International Conference for Food Safety and Quality 
on November 2-3, 2010, as well as being the opening speaker.

Why do I do it?

Well, it is not because I like to sit on airplanes for dozens of hours at a time.  The truth is that Food Safety has become more that just a law practice, it has become a mission.  When you have seen the impact on people and families that I have seen for nearly 20 years, not flying around the world is not an option anymore.

And, I am going to miss seeing the World Series in person.
