Article Reveals That The FDA Is Not Doing It's Job Very Well

Hi All,

After reading this article, I'm not sure if I'll be eating any more imported fruits and/or vegetables. FDA sure isn't taking care of risks to the health of consumers in this country very well at all. We are obviously very vulnerable.

If I were a leader in a terrorist organization, who wanted to cause a lot of misery in this country, and I were trying to find a way to do it, I would definitely exploit this loophole. Where is Homeland Security on this issue? Oh yeah, they're probably too busy trying to figure out how to spend all the money that's been thrown their way. They don't have time to waste on trivial issues such as imported food. They're obviously not doing their jobs either.

Thanks Tex,

And yet another good reason to buy locally and organic. It might just be a bit more expensive but it sure might be a lot safer.

Love, Maggie

I was thinking the same thing as Maggie!!!

I'll definitely be asking questions when they open our outdoor flea market this spring where they sell lots of fresh fruits and vegetables..
I'll be buying organic alot more too...
