A Conversation with Bill Marler: Taking on E. coli, Big Ag, Raw Milk, Conspiracy Theorists, and the USDA.”
I had a great time chatting with Shari Danielson of the blog, Simple Good and Tasty, for what is going to be a two-part expose into the inner workings of the mind of trial lawyer/wannabe politician/food safety advocate/blogger – “A Conversation with Bill Marler: Taking on E. coli, Big Ag, Raw Milk, Conspiracy Theorists, and

2009 Top 10 Food Stories
Well, it is that time of the year. Here is one perspective:
I suppose I need to do a recap of 2009 and a look forward into 2010. I will focus on the food safety side of the equation. Any ideas?

Hello, My Name is _________ and I Stopped Selling Raw Milk in 2006
I just got the below email tonight. I deleted identifying information to protect the dairyman’s identification.

Seattle Times – Hungry for food that’s safe to swallow
This morning I was reading Jerry Large’s column this morning “Hungry for food that’s safe to swallow,” and was struck by how often I hear the same level of frustration at the safety of our food supply and what our government is or is not doing to help.

Execution, as a food safety “kill step,” does not seem to be much of a deterrence
Just a few weeks ago, the New York Times reported “2 Executed in China for Selling Tainted Milk:”
China executed two milk producers on Tuesday for selling more than three million pounds of contaminated milk products in connection with a food-safety scandal that killed six infants, shocking the country last year. More than 300,000 children
