Congressman John D. Dingell gave an impassioned speech today on behalf of HR 2749 – The food Safety Enhancement Act of 2009.  I think it should be renamed the Dingell Bell, errr, Bill.  Anyway, the guy is a stud.

The vote on the Bill should happen soon.  Check out www.foodpoisonjournal.com for the latest.
