It's hard for me to say, but when I look around at.... I work across many sectors, and what I see happening is a pattern across many sectors of responsibility that has been taken away from government, handed to industry, oversight being reduced. I see oversight agencies being starved of resources, being given management that may not be completely in tune with what they're supposed to be doing, pressured to approve actions or industry initiatives that are not appropriate. I can't put my hand on my heart and say I know exactly what's going on in the food industry. But what I see is a very consistent pattern in this country, in the U.S.A., and in other countries of a type of deregulation going on that is being done irrationally and without adequate oversight.
