The statement in the committee's report that we're “among the safest in the world” is certainly what I grew up believing, but there were cuts made in the mid- and late-nineties, particularly to food inspection. In your opinion, given some of the increases to resources, how close are we, relatively speaking, in terms of our food safety today versus where we were before the cuts of the nineties?
