The awareness level of our food supply made only more palpable after Michael Pollan stepped up to the plate has turned me into a locavore and decidely almost anti meat period. But to undo the farming, the animal husbandry, the distribution, the lopsided supply and demand would take nothing short of a miracle.<\/p>\n

Senate Passes Overhaul of Food Safety Regulations<\/p>\n

\n

The Senate passed a sweeping overhaul of the nation’s\u00a0food-safety system on Tuesday that would give the Food and\u00a0Drug Administration new powers to order recalls of tainted\u00a0foods, increase inspections, oversee farming and demand\u00a0accountability from food companies. The vote was 73-25 in\u00a0favor.<\/p>\n

\n

The bill attracted support from major food makers as well as\u00a0consumer advocates after a series of problems with tainted\u00a0eggs, peanut butter and spinach sickened thousands of people.\u00a0Despite unusual bipartisan support on Capitol Hill and a\u00a0strong push from the Obama administration, though, the bill\u00a0could still die, because there might not be enough time left\u00a0in the session for the usual haggling between the Senate and\u00a0House of Representatives, which passed its own version of the\u00a0bill last year. Top House Democrats have said that they would\u00a0consider simply passing the Senate version to speed approval.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
