It's unfortunate that the FDA and the USDA are subject to corporate pressure but I'm sure the corporations share as much of the blame as these agencies. Maybe I think too much of people but I can't imagine that these agencies willingly changed these standards arbitrarily. If corporations have influence on these agencies then a natural question is why? What can these corporations do to the FDA and USDA that would force them to bow to their needs? Why don't we change that?
are you serious
money baby, money
financial ties in the form of grants, research monies, positions when the advisors leave the boards, contracts, political backrubbing, things like that.

and I have no idea what CEO's eat, probably liberal babies.
