Action and dysfunction in the U.S. food-safety effort

I’ve played, coached and sometimes participated in administration for almost 50 years of ice hockey.

hockey.praciceThings don’t really change.

The parents aren’t as drunk as they used to be, but they can still be difficult; that’s why coaches have to go through at least two days of training, far more than what’s requested of people who serve food.

And if people expect food safety to change by better regulation, they’re delusional.

The old grey lady – N.Y. Times – has further succumbed to decades-old rhetoric that isn’t going to make fewer people barf (or die).
