Dave, I know this is something you feel strongly about, but please, my
friend: not everybody who shares information about some possible food
danger deserves the "Food Police" label, and not everybody who chooses
to be cautious in some way has been brainwashed by the "Food Police".
Even if you feel the government is, nobody *here* is trying to take
away your right to decide to risk whatever you want to risk, and there's
not an anti-libertarian agenda or even necessarily any great timidity
involved *every* time anybody shares any safety concerns at all.
Information like that in a venue like this is just information, posted
for whatever it's worth so that people who want to can find out more
and make up their own minds. Anything really so wrong with that?

If somebody hadn't told me about one particular class of drugs found
in nearly all meat, I'd still be eating meat and those drugs'd still
be having the rather severe negative effect they have on my particular
disease. I wasn't instantly intimidated by the information and I
didn't take it at face value, but I'm glad somebody posted it where
I could read it, check it out and make up my own mind.

I'm not the FDA, I swear! :)
Keep on rockin',
