celery recall

Texas Shuts Down Celery Plant After Five Deadly Listeria Cases Reported | http://t.co/rQwz37M

who are these so called food safety advocates? pass more legislation!? and more legislation!?

"...from consumer groups to producers, have called for the Senate to pass the bill, which would increase inspections, amp up the FDA's recall authority, and give it new tools to detect illness before it gets too widespread."

how about farming properly so to limit growth of food borne illnesses and educating the public to eat healthy so the body can naturally defend against illnesses.

its bad enough that the FDA allows radiation of spinach and lettuce.

"...The Food and Drug Administration said on Thursday the radiation treatment also would make the leafy greens last longer and give them greater "shelf-life" for retailers and consumers."

great. longer shelf life in exchange for produce zapped of 75% of its nutrients from radiation.

so now we are eating produce grown in nutrient deprived soil which gets radiated further reducing nutrients in the produce all to force us to take pharmaceutical developed multi vitamins and keep us just barely sick enough to relie on our healthcare system.
