IMHO, that sounds like an idea whose time has come.
We have a government that spends much time and energy to bail out Wall Street, take care of wooden arrow makers, wool researchers, race car tracks, and rum makers. And don't forget how much our lives will improve when the citizenry is forced to convert to digital TV next February.
The FDA's decision that allows food (except formula) to contain up to 2.5 ppm of melamine is very disturbing. And of course, the FDA's "science" doesn't consider that melamine may be contaminated with other chemicals, i.e., cyanuric acid.
Yesterday, I sent an email to this area's security advisor at the Department of Homeland Security. His solution: eat organic.
We're in a heap of trouble.

Well, if this wasn't so serious it would almost be comical...
Dept of Homeland Security
should be involved in the importing of foods after 9-11...or am I not seeing the whole picture
Last March 2007 one thing I had a hard time with was the fact that this adulteration in the food supply was not a priority...maybe to the "head honchos" it was just pet food but I remember saying to the press and to friends and family "where else is this crap going to show up"...I would hate to think I had more foresight than the Department of Homeland Security of the country I live in..
And now to see many countries taking a pro-active approach to Chinese imports while we are still sitting here saying "a little is okay for ya folks"...well, I am planning some letter writing today and then faxing....I have heard that is a more effective way of reaching our legislators....I hope it is as I had too many to count emails go unanswered last year...and don't worry I will share any responses with all of us here.....

you guys may laugh at me but I just saw that Oprah is doing "where our food comes from" on Tuesday so I am going to write the show an email hoping that next friday they cover the food contamination crisis and the lack of intervention ....on fridays they talk about "current events" so maybe whoever reads the emails will have kids or pets and take notice! You never know...I happen to think it is all about who reads the mail... 
.Godspeed Ben...there are many itchmo angels waiting at the bridge to greet you angel Ben...
