Joe Pitts: “The catfish inspection program is critical to public health.”

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

I for one in a portion of my life when I was a boy lived in a household where we didn't have access to health care.

The jurisdictional grab serves only to shield catfish farmers against competition at the expense of U.S. consumers.

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