Food: Safer

Good news, Food Safety Advocates - which, you think, would be everyone - the Senate just passed a new food safety bill that's got a lot of good stuff in it!

Since it's the Senate, naturally there's a lot of good stuff missing, too, but this is better than nothing. My favorite aspect of the bill is that it requires a lot more inspections of food manufacturers and big farms. This will be a huge step in combating all the grossness that goes on in big food plants.

Although the Senate passed the bill, they'll still have to negotiate with the House, and quickly, too, before this Congress' session ends.

Can they do it? They better, because this bill's too good to pass up, and too good not to pass.
