“we'll have to reclaim the ward 'taxes.' Why has it become a synonym for 'evil'? I understand that no one likes to pay good money for nothing. But fire and police protection aren't nothing. ... Roads, bridges, airports, and mass transit systems aren't nothing. National parks, clean air, and clear water aren't nothing. A safe food supply, functioning schools with well-trained teachers, and well-equipped hospitals aren't vaporous apparitions either.” WellsSchoolEvilWaterPayClearFireTeacherAirSafeTaxesMassPoliceCleanProtectionLikesBridgesParksHospitalsAirportsNational ParksSynonymGood MoneyApparitionsClean AirFood SupplyClear WaterPolice ProtectionMass TransitSafe Food Author:Arianna Huffington
“When you have a food safety system that's voluntary and not mandatory, you're in a situation in which everybody wants everybody else to go first. So as a normal course of doing business, food companies cut corners and don't want to take the kind of trouble and the kind of testing and the kind of careful procedures that are required to produce the safe food because they don't have to.” WantFirstsKindCoursesCompanySituationCuttingTroubleProduceSafeNormalSafetyCarefulCornersTestingProceduresFood SafetySafe Food Author:Marion Nestle
“I would require every producer of food to follow and have enforced a standard safety plan. We know how to produce safe food. It has a horrible name; it's called HACCP - Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point - and this was a food safety system that was developed for NASA so that astronauts wouldn't get sick in outer space. If you just think about what it might be like to have food poison under conditions of zero gravity, you don't even want to think about it.” IfsThinkingKnowsWantMightNamesSpaceKnow HowPlansConditionsProduceSafeStandardsSickSafetyCriticalHorribleProducersAnalysisPoisonZeroGravityAstronautHazardsNasaOuter SpaceFood SafetyZero GravitySafe Food Author:Marion Nestle
“You need to identify the steps at which contamination can occur - those are the critical control points. You take steps to make sure that that doesn't happen. And you monitor and evaluate and test to make sure that your system is working properly. And if it's done diligently and done faithfully and monitored carefully, then they're producing safe food. And no astronaut of which I'm aware has ever gotten food poisoning in outer space.” IfsNeedsDoneHappensSpaceStepsSafeTestsCriticalAstronautEvaluateOuter SpacePoisoningContaminationFood PoisoningSafe Food Author:Marion Nestle
