"THE WAR IS OVER; WE LOST"

That's a paraphrase of the point of this article - FDA is failing to protect food, ex-chiefs say - showing that our much ballyhooed War On E.Coli, which I've covered to the best of my ability here and cheered on to the best of my lungs, has ended in defeat: "Regulators don't have the money, equipment, and staff to keep industrial chemicals, salmonella, and E. coli from contaminating the US food supply, former commissioners of the Food and Drug Administration said." Don't know what the point is now of appointing a War Czar for this particular battle; the cow has already left the barn - and left behind the usual food contaminants needing some serious cleanup.
