Safe Food

Author Marion Nestle dares to speak out about Safe Food - Bacteria, Biotechnology, and Bioterrorism. Food safety is a matter of intense public concern, and for good reason. Millions of annual cases of food "poisonings" raise alarm not only about the food served in restaurants and fast-food outlets, but also food bought in the supermarket. I think we've all experienced this at one time or another?! How concerned should we be about such problems?

Marion argues that ensuring safe food involves more than washing hands or cooking it to a high of enough temperature. It involves politics. Who decides when a food is safe? She demonstrates how powerful food industries oppose safety regulations, deny accountability, and blame consumers when something goes wrong. Century old laws for ensuring food safety are no longer being followed and protecting our food supply. Things are about to get much worse, from what is sounds like?
