David Cay Johnston: “The answer is, of course, I want that ``USDA inspected'' label on there, and I want scientists to make that inspection…”

On the recordJuly 17, 1995
The answer is, of course, I want that ``USDA inspected'' label on there, and I want scientists to make that inspection based on scientific standards and not on some public opinion poll or some prejudice or some superstition. Put good science in the picture. That is all we are saying. I want the inspections to continue, but with good science. That is what we are about. You know, it is the scientists who discovered E. coli, not some pollster out there reading the results of the last election.
