I'd like you to review and support the upcoming Safe and Accurate Food Labeling Act of 2015, which would protect our country's food supply and provide consistent and truthful information to all consumers. Foods labeled as "all natural" and "GMO-free" interest many shoppers who are concerned with their family's nutritional health. Labeling foods with these claims is a smart marketing decision, but there is no way to tell if these labels are accurate. Individual states recognize this problem and…

initiated a war on drugs after declaring drugs to be America’s “public enemy number one” (13TH). By framing drugs as a public enemy, Nixon gave birth to the idea of dealing with drugs as a crime rather than a health issue. Overtime, it became clear to some that Nixon’s war on drugs was not solely about fighting drugs. Nixon’s advisor John Ehrlichman was caught on tape stating that America “had two enemies: the antiwar left and black people,” and through associating both groups with drugs, they…

The United States is best described as a mixed economy, although there were periods in U.S. history when it was closer to a free trade economy. The government of the U.S. has always played some role in economic affairs. Over time, more and more services have come under the influence or direct control of the public sector. A free trade economy requires that all property be owned by private individuals and all goods and services be privately provided. Prices are allowed to fluctuate based on…

I agree with the Food and Drug Administration to subpoena Chipotle Mexican Grill Inc. for having multiple norovirus incidents. These incidents include an E. coli outbreak in several states, a norovirus breakout at a restaurant in Brighton, Massachusetts, and other stray cases throughout the country. This should not be taken lightly and some justice should happen. There is a bunch of relevancy of this article to VA/US Government. We are currently learning about the different departments of the…

supermarket shelves such as cereals, bread, frozen pastries, soups and canned foods are all contaminated with genetically modified organisms, (GMO). For years, scientists have manipulated the DNA of plant and animal food to make them taste better, to increase growth production or to make them resistant to insect damage. The Food and Drug Administration, (FDA), states that GMO food has been through the same regulation as traditional food methods. However, they claim to be “safe and natural,” but…

the doctor is charging initially. Another way that would help reduce the cost is the amount of studying it takes to get a new drug to market. Currently it takes roughly 12 years to get a new drug to the market (n.d). If the Food and Drug Administration can cut that in half it can potentially cut the cost in half. Along with this very long time, a large amount of drugs never make it to human testing. There might be a large amount of criticism by the ways to reduce health care prices, but…
