A Stale Food Fight

By Michael Pollan and Eric Schlosser

    This is an older article, from November 2010.  The article is about the senate going to vote on the FDA's bill.  Allow the FDA to set rules and regulations for the safety of our food.  It would allow the FDA to monitor the food before it is supplied, instead of after people have become ill from it.  The bill also allow the FDA to use the same rules and regulations on food being imported.

   I found it very interesting that the FDA didn't already have the right to set food guidelines, and call for recalls.  This article was very informative, and I think it was worth reading.  The author used a very straight forward way of delivering the information.
