BARFBLOG: Safest food in the world – Barack Obama edition - (barfblog)

June 29, 2008 – 8:52 pm

Barack Obama may be the change candidate but his food safety rhetoric falls into a tired and unsubstantiated pattern.
Obama wrote on Friday in Cow Calf Weekly (great reading for the beach),
http://enews.penton.com/enews/beef/cowcalfweekly_/current#a080625
“America continues to have the safest, most abundant and cheapest food supply in the world. … Beef producers are a key component in a healthy and vibrant rural America. By strengthening USDA and working to enhance food safety and meat processing, my administration will assist the industry in providing a wholesome and safe product to your customers.”
