Issue #3 Safe to Eat?

Food-borne illnesses caught our attention when many people got sick from the fresh fruit and vegetables. Dangerous bacteria called E. coli was found in bagged spinach in 2006. This killed three people and sickened more than 200. Tests found out that it came from a pig farm that their cow manure had E. coli in it and spread into the spinach Field. Meat and poultry are looked upon by the Department of Agriculture. Fruit and vegetables are looked regulated Food and Drug Administration. Some believe that food supply should be regulated by one company. Also the other problem is if the people get sick should we have national health care? The government wants to decided what we can and can not eat. medicare

I believe that we need to put more rules towards making our food and even the beginning of the start of our food. We could make it mandatory to test the cow manure before its put on the fields. This would save many people from having to spend money to go to the doctors. I think that having two food departments is better than one because they can focus on their types of food. I dont think that the government needs to spend anymore of our tax payer's money with posting warning labels on our fast food companies. This example came from San Francisco where they wanted "McDonald’s Happy Meals and other fast-food meals that come with toys to meet new nutritional standards." Forbes
