as an american adult with a very busy schedule i have little time to prepare my own food and meals.Being 24, an active college student, office receptionist and father i buy lots of pre prepared and fast foods.i often wonder wher it comes from and who makes sure its safe enough for us to eat? i got an answer todayin my current english class from a passage titled "is americas food supply safe?" and found that an agency known as the F.D.A employs people who are themselves titled inspectors.these inspectors are dedicated to inspecting our food supply. The F.D.A - also known as the food and drug administration - work with food companies both domestically and internationally to do everything they can to protect not only our food but our physical and mental well being and our immune health. both on and off shore they work to find how a problem such as contamination, disease, poisoning, and many other life threatening elements is started, fit it and prevent it from ever happening again.

 but even with 625 investigators working out of twenty different offices all across the country using the most modern up to date scientific techniques available, contamination still often occurs though most cases arent as publicly known as they should be we learn that there are still recent recalls of beef with mad cow disease, E. coli in spinach and salmonella in peanut butter prove that no matter the measures taken to prevent these viruses and bacterias in our food, our food is only as safe as our food processing companies, suppliers, butchers and parcel delivery companies employees are.if an employee isnt following procedure or protocol such as safety and sanitary measures, contamination can and will always be inevitable. i believe that our employees should also undergo either annually or bi anually depending on the number of employees and frquency of turnovers trainings and simple test on the importance and mandated laws and regulations to follow all aspects of the measures taken to prevent these things from happenng.
