The only solution is to eliminate some of the crazy run away spending.
You completely missed the point, or more likely, slanted it to fit your argument. If a restaurant in Warren, MI gets a visit by the health inspector and violations are found, the restaurant is given a small window of time to correct those violations. A follow-up inspection is made and if they don't pass, they get shut down. If they do pass, they usually get another inspection within a year. Even if the restaurant has a perfect history of inspections, there still wouldn't be an eight year period between inspections.
Violations were found at the Georgia plant and nothing was done about it until the Salmonella outbreak eight years later. In the court reports, witnesses (company employees) reported that many previous shipments over that eight years were found to have possible Salmonella contamination but were shipped anyway. Had the FDA been able to properly follow up, this could have been nipped in the bud before people became sick and died.
Try again.
