No. It just says they cannot spend the money chasing law-abiding citizens. Go after the people who really are the problem. More importantly, I would love to see the FDA do a better job of policing the fruits and vegetables, and the pork bellies and all the beef and raw meat that comes into this country every day. I do not want to scare people, but that was a scary number to me. Does it not bother the gentleman that 4.4 percent of the samples that they tested had either salmonella, shigella, or other dangerous pathogens present on the product? That bothers me. The gentleman has a pretty good solution to some of this. It is electronic pasteurization. That is the term I like to use. Frankly, I think we need to move down that path. But this is the scary thing. If the gentleman has ever had food poisoning, in some respects I think it is far more dangerous than people trying to save a few bucks on coumadin by buying it through a pharmacy in Winnipeg, Manitoba.
