It&#8217;s about issues surrounding food. I&#8217;ll be blogging every once in a while.<\/div>\n<div class=\"mobile-photo\">This guy (sorry about the bad pic) is from the CDC and spoke about foodborne outbreaks like E Coli and Salmonella.<\/div>\n<div class=\"mobile-photo\">Remember the peanut butter-related outbreak last year? It took weeks to identify. The industrial peanut paste responsible in part for the outbreak was used in 3,900 products!<\/div>\n<div class=\"mobile-photo\">The government really has very little regulatory authority to order food processors to change what they do, or stop doing it when something goes wrong. It&#8217;s business pressure &#8211; consumers saying they won&#8217;t buy, say, peanut butter &#8211; that drives changes in our country right now.<\/div>\n<div class=\"mobile-photo\">Do you trust the food you buy to be safe? Should the government be more active in regulating the conditions of how food is produced, processed and distributed?<\/div>\n<div class=\"mobile-photo\">Is local food &#8211; with possibly even more variables for introduction of disease &#8211; less or more safe than what you by in the supermarket?<\/div>\n<div class=\"mobile-photo\">This is what I&#8217;m thinking about this morning. More later.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m at a fellowship at MIT in Boston this week. It&#8217;s about issues surrounding food.
