Joe Pitts: “The Affordable Care Act is not the health reform this country needed.”

Explicitly creating a program exclusively for catfish seems to be unnecessary, and it directs resources away from high-risk foods.

This seems to smack of food politics, not public health.

It seems illogical that the USDA would be given the exclusive authority to oversee and regulate catfish only while the FDA regulates all other seafood.

The catfish inspection program is critical to public health.
