These GOP Budget Cuts Might Make You Puke (or Worse)

I watched Food Inc. recently and am horrified to read of these GOP proposed budget cuts to USDA and FDA that would result in fewer inspections of our food supply. We need to restore some balance to the corporate push for profits and the well-being of American families. The US already has much higher rates of food-borne illness than France (on the order of 20 times higher), and these cuts will put more people at risk of serious illness or death.

Food-borne illnesses in the US cost $152 billion a year according to this piece.
