Lol, nobody else commenting... w/e... I think that Obama is doing a smash up job, and that he needs to keep it up!
It's interesting to read the Monsanto article with this announcement.
Of course, consumers do not know what is healthy for them. Certainly mr. Obama knows what is healthy for budget and for inspectors. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.220.124.198 (talk) 13:22, 16 March 2009 (UTC)

I wonder, will he change the way the FDA performs their checks? At the moment, ingredients such as transfat do not have to be listed if constituting less than 1% of the product. Furthermore, the FDA, as I understand it, allows for companies to either evaluate their own products. Especially in the realm of drugs and pharmaceuticals, I believe that this is a dangerous practice born of neglect and corruption.
What will our President do of these hazards to public health? I already do not trust the FDA, and I wonder if pumping them full of new money that we don't have is the answer. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 96.60.23.99 (talk • contribs)
I agree, throwing money at the FDA probably isnt going to help significantly.. or at least wouldnt be worth the 1 billion dollars. I don't know a whole lot about the FDA, but from what I have heard they're a broken system when it comes to drugs, I hope thats not equally true when it comes to food. But really whats the alternative? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 209.12.14.250 (talk • contribs)

[edit] Seriously
People are so underminded these days. They see a small paragraph and since it won't take up an hour of their time, they let every word sink in to them and allow it to decide their decision of what the heck is going on in society. This small statement blasting against our food safety just preaches how we trick each other into believing the folly of another man's opinion. Has anyone promoted the FDA and our food safety system? Sure, for some it's just not enough (This includes Obama) which may be true in some cases but compared to the early 1900s food production where complete abominations that would be called "food" was shipped out, this is not a terrible situation. Though still, people are smacking down on our society, and perhaps I'm just too right-wing here- perhaps we do need a serious reformation, but in general, and to sum it up, always know both sides of the story: For food safety, although not perfect, it is no longer The Jungle. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 168.169.183.218 (talk) 12:51, 18 March 2009 (UTC)
[edit] ^^OWNED^^
But really, I don't like argula.
Thank you Jesus...I had a feeling that FDA weren't doing their job properly. I am so happy to see this peace of news come out.
As well, I liked to add that I noticed that a lot of supplements on the market that claim to provide relief for ailments are never monitored by the FDA...how can we have an agency whose job is to protect and inform consumers of what they consume if they won't monitor it because of some policy. That is politics at its worst...when it begins to sound like non-sense!
[edit] Is Obama doing the right thing?
YES OBAMA IS THE MAN THAT WILL TURN THIS WORLD AROUND Yes he is 100% right & the FDA needs to stop approving genetically altered food. We are seeing the results of that in (not only) our childrens health but viruses that are so resistant to any medication we have that we are all in danger. STOP the putting of antibotis in animal food. STOP the growth honmones in in animals. STOP GENIETIC ALTERED FOOD the only thing we know for sure is that it makes MONEY for the producers at the risk of our health. PLEASE ...WE ARE KILLING OURSELVES FOR THE SAKE OF MONEY,MONEY, MONEY.
