Food Safety: What If the FAA Were In Charge of the Food Americans Eat? or How the FDA Fails To Protect Us

by Charles on December 28, 2009

Mark McAfee, who runs Organic Pastures Raw Milk Dairy, perhaps the cleanest and safest food source in the United States, draws some intriguing distinctions between what the FAA does for air safey and what he FDA fails to do in food and medication safety.  From a recent speech posted at and with thanks to Hartke Is Online.

Mark says: “The FAA does not believe in covering up the sounds of grinding and breaking noises with better sound attenuating headsets or simply ignoring the danger and its foretelling sounds and ominous signs… the FAA mandates that the origin of the problems be discovered and fixed prior to flying into the wild blue yonder….avoiding all accidents however small. The FAA dissects every incident to learn from it and immediately publishes the information and changes policy to avoid and prevent any further incidents or accidents.”

That’s the FAA and air safety. Then there’s the FDA and food/medication safety. Mark goes on: “Most FDA approved medications cover up the sounds of our bodies painfully grinding and breaking and are mostly patented sign and symptom relievers not preventative healing cures. Celebrex and Fosomax killed thousands as have many other FDA approved drugs and additives. FDA approved pediatric cold remedies now carry a black box warning because they have been shown to cause death and brain bleeds in kids. When all the child needed to do was drink raw milk to avoid most flues and colds by building a very strong immune system. “

What if the FAA was in Charge of Food Safety? Go read the entire transcribed speech at Kim’s wonderful blog.
