My personal opinions:

1. Food producers should produce food, not make health claims. They should be able to support organizations qualified to study and make health claims, however.
2. The importation ban was a misguided program against invasive species, not food.
3. Small and large food producers should be held to the same standards.
4. The last administration gutted the FDA and manned it with cronies from the pharmaceutical industry. It will take some time to return it to a public-serving organization, but the work has already begun.
