According to David Acheson's passage "Is America's Food Supply Safe?" Acheson assures his readers that the FDA is doing it's job to ensure that food is safe and goes on to make such outlandish remarks stating Americans have one of the safest food supplies in the world, but in retrospect I beg to differ. In reality many food producing companies often turn a blind eye over looking quality and safety in exchange for profit violating health regulations with the F.D.A help these companies get away with murder. The food supply in the United States was in better shape twenty years ago then it is today. It is evident that the FDA, whose responsibility is protect the nations food supply is ineffective and insufficient.
If the F.D.A were truly concerned about the food supply in the united states there wouldn't be slaughter houses in our country fusing the remains of animal parts into food products found in our super markets or fast food chains serving burgers with E. coli. Not to mention the massive withdrawal of eggs due to salmonella contamination in which representatives of the FDA openly admitted that hundreds if not thousands of Americans were infected with the deadly disease because of the tainted eggs.Yet Acheson will have you believe that the FDA is doing good job stating " The F.D.A is always working to protect food from bacterial, viral, and chemical contamination. We use the most modern scientific methods available to learn how contamination occurs and prevent it."
