Agribusiness (big corporations running agriculture) spends a ton of money lobbying our corrupt Washington DC law makers. They try to avoid as much regulation/oversight as possible. Clean slaughter houses? No thanks. Humane treatment of animals? What's that? How our food is produced? Who cares? Where does our food come from? Anyone know? It doesn't seem to matter for most people, who pack their cars with brightly packaged, conveniently "cleaned", vitamin-fortified, artificially flavored crap from the SUPER-market.
It doesn't matter that is until people start getting sick or dying from food-poison.

It seems so absolutely ridiculous that our government cannot tell us where food is coming from so that we can track down food tainted with salmonella. Perhaps if food production was more transparent and regulated, we wouldn't have salmonella tainted produce going inside our bodies to start with. If we can't even trust our wonderful Washington law makers to do this, how can they POSSIBLY balance a budget? Manage an invasion? Provide health care? Just food for thought.
