Consumers have no way of knowing whether the food they eat is contaminated, and in this case what you don't know can hurt or even kill you. But there are some people who refuse to accept that case, because it's ideologically inconvenient.That's why I blame the food safety crisis on Milton Friedman, who called for the abolition of both the food and the drug sides of the F.D.A. What would protect the public from dangerous or ineffective drugs? "It's in the self-interest of pharmaceutical companies not to have these bad things," he insisted in a 1999 interview. He would presumably have applied the same logic to food safety (as he did to airline safety): regardless of circumstances, you can always trust the private sector to police itself.O.K., I'm not saying that Mr. Friedman directly caused tainted spinach and poisonous peanut butter. But he did help to make our food less safe, by legitimizing what the historian Rick Perlstein calls "E. coli conservatives": ideologues who won't accept even the most compelling case for government regulation.Earlier this month the administration named, you guessed it, a "food safety czar." But the food safety crisis isn't caused by the arrangement of the boxes on the organization chart. It's caused by the dominance within our government of a literally sickening ideology. from:http://www.signs-of-the-times.org/articles/show/133094-Signs+Economic+Commentary+for+28+May+2007 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++  http://www.signs-of-the-times.org/articles/show/133010-Wal-Mart+wants+to+be+your+stock+broker http://www.signs-of-the-times.org/articles/show/133006-Unbelievable%21+How+to+profit+from+global+warming+-+weather+futures http://www.signs-of-the-times.org/articles/show/132981-Ethanol+Booms%2C+Farmers+Bust http://www.signs-of-the-times.org/articles/show/132920-Former+Wal-Mart+exec+accuses+CEO+of+ethics+breach+ http://www.signs-of-the-times.org/articles/show/132821-Regional+currency+to+replace+dollar+in+Argentina-Brazil+trade http://www.signs-of-the-times.org/articles/show/133094-Signs+Economic+Commentary+for+28+May+2007 from;http://www.signs-of-the-times.org/signs/list_by_category/3-The+Loan+Gunmen ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ http://www.signs-of-the-times.org/articles/show/132985-Developing+New+Bush+Scandal+Helping+Big+Oil+Companies+Hide+Billions+from+Government+at+Taxpayer+Expense from:http://www.signs-of-the-times.org/signs/list_by_category/12-U.S.+News?page=3orhttp://www.signs-of-the-times.org/signs/list_by_category/12-U.S.+News ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++  http://www.signs-of-the-times.org/articles/show/133064-Bush+-+Constitution+%27Just+A+Goddamned+Piece+Of+Paper%27 from:http://www.signs-of-the-times.org/signs/list_by_category/2-Axis+of+Evil +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ http://www.signs-of-the-times.org/articles/show/132977-How+Can+Bush+Bring+Freedom+and+Democracy+to+Iraq+When+He+Brings+Tyranny+to+America%3F http://www.signs-of-the-times.org/articles/show/133054-No+jobs+for+US+citizens+without+Homeland+Security+approval from:http://www.signs-of-the-times.org/signs/list_bestofweb +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ .....etc.......
