It really is about feeding an ever growing population. Trying to balance safety with quality and quantity. Then again so many millions die from starvation, all they care about is getting food to live another day. We fail them and mostly for political reasons.

Politicians muck up everything when they interfere with science and make it about emotions and not facts. I am so tired of watching leaders pretend they are learned enough to reject what a scientist is telling them. How insulting.
