Food safety politics again
Here’s a useful post from Science Progress (in which I am quoted) on the push to fix the U.S. food safety system by creating a single food safety agency. It comes with an instructive diagram of the various agencies now involved–this alone is a good reason why the system needs a fix. Science Progress is a project of the Center for American Progress, of which I had not heard until now.
