Obama to sign Food Safety bill


Rightardia laughed at this cartoon. It reminded us of the commercials they used to run at drive-ins and still do at movie theaters today where the food comes marching by during intermissions.

President Barack Obama was scheduled to sign the Food Safety bill on Tuesday.

It allows the Food and Drug Administration to increase inspections of food producers and gives it more enforcement authority.

The legislation follows a series of widespread outbreaks of food-borne illness and food product recalls.

Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius calls it "the most significant food-safety law of the last 100 years."

But some Republicans in Congress who will oversee the FDA have questioned the need and cost of the bill.
