The Obama administration has voiced strong support for a comprehensive food safety revamping. As a result, the House of Representatives passed legislation on Thursday to require more frequent inspections of processing plants and give the government the authority to order the recall of tainted foods.

The bill passed the House on a vote of 283 to 142. Democratic support was overwhelming, but Republicans were split, with 54 voting in favor and 122 against. It is so disappointing that Republicans are opposed to a safe food supply in order to maximize profits and have less government regulation.

Another plus for Obama. You can thank him when you go out to eat and the food is wholesome and safe. Or, your kids don’t get sick from self inspected food. Bush cut funding for FDA but then that is old news. The voters will remember that Republicans won’t support safer food supples.
