Marler Blog - U.S. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack says the Obama administration is working to improve food safety. - Comments http://www.marlerblog.com/ Food Poisoning Lawyer & Attorney : Bill Marler : Marler Clark en Copyright 2012 Wed, 16 May 2012 04:41:26 -0800 Wed, 16 May 2012 04:41:26 -0800 http://www.sixapart.com/movabletype/?v=4.32-en http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss cheryl berenson RN, MS-MPH student OHSU I agree, "BS" is the totally correct phrase here-- no conflicts of interest at the USDA!!
I really like Vilsack's two pronged solution to foodborne illness- 1.blame the consumer and 2.better recall efforts
we all know that government regulation is off limits!!!

He expressed no urgency. Maybe I have too high a bar for that. He is, after all, a politician.

I'm glad the interviewer brought up the problem of conflict of interest. No matter what he said after that, the listener will have been informed.

I learned something. Vilsack said he wished the USDA had more recall authority. That stands in contrast to his predecessors who are on record as saying they can operate better without recall authority. I wonder why the change.
