Yes Bobby, and I can’t understand why USDA is allowed to provide nutrition advice when their interest, as history shows, is to promote agriculture.
It’s time to end the check off program! Finances organized by the USDA provide the dairy industry to their current ridiculous campaign of promoting greater consumption of CHOCOLATE MILK. I wasn’t aware our nation’s children needed to consume more sugar or more of this intensely produced commodity, bovine breast milk.

I just can’t understand why safe food isn’t the USDA’s highest priority.

I just visited their website, and they proudly show the Homeland Security dept’s Threat Level is “Elevated.”

So we’re supposed to be afraid of the nebulous terrorist threat, but not worry about food safety. Food, which ALL americans consume EVERY day. And the chicken is 75% infected with bacteria that can kill us.

Thanks USDA, thanks for doing such a great job protecting Americans.
