I assume some oversight is necessary to assure this. Seems that the sensible way is to prescribe allowable levels of contaminants such as pesticides and herbicides, or bacteria, etc. Leave it to the producers to figure out how to achieve that. Obviously, Joel Salatin produces animal products that are clean and fresh and healthful. He achieves that in a FAR different fashion than Tyson foods. Education will go a long way to changing views on the best way, ultimately, to achieve a safe food supply. Transparency, full disclosure, changing expectations of what food 'should' cost, and many other measures make far more sense to me than 'bureaucratiz[ing] American agriculture'.
