New York Times: A tiny program that matters: In some ways, it looks like a small thing — President Obama’s latest budget proposes cutting a $5 million research program at the Department of Agriculture. But the elimination of the Microbiological Data Program, which tests fruits and vegetables for disease, is an alarming setback in the fight to keep the food supply safe.
"It is a pretty big deal when combined with the cuts in state ag departments," said state Agriculture Commissioner John McMillan. "The states I have talked to have cut almost as drastically as we have and this type of consumer protection, as well as weights and measures, has been impacted heavily."
"Overall I have been very impressed with the foods safety I have witnessed in processing facilities in Alabama," McMillan continued. "In Alabama, as we have made cuts, we have placed priority on protecting private sector jobs and given up other areas of responsibility."
