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.
Because of the Affordable Care Act, now over 20 million people in this country who were in that situation literally overnight are no longer in that situation.
The jurisdictional grab serves only to shield catfish farmers against competition at the expense of U.S. consumers.
Explicitly creating a program exclusively for catfish seems to be unnecessary, and it directs resources away from high-risk foods.
