where's the KMAN?
i heard he's willing to spend any amount to receive advanced medical treatments...surely he'd be in favor of spending on inspections....
I hope no-one comes along and says regulations and inspections aren't required because the market will put this bastard out of business for selling contaminated food.
Regulations and inspections aren't required because the market will put this bastard out of business for selling contaminated food!
I suppose that could work as long as there are strict laws with severe penalties if you sell contaminated food AND you've got an honest and free Press.
ah, pretty sure inspectors were needed to figure out where the fucking salmonella came from in the first place.

I didn't start this, but to continue down this line of reasoning...
That could be after the fact. Since people died, the companies would have to pay a law enforcement agency to inspect their product. The taxpayer funded law enforcement agency would hire private inspectors paid for by the companies under investigation.

Why reinvent the wheel?
Agriculture inspectors are quite capable of doing thier jobs when the funding is available for them to have those jobs.

The median annual pay for Agricultural Inspectors is $38,511. I don't know about you, but that doesn't sound like the kind of money that will attract the best and brightest.
What should be done? Well.....considering that our government has been following Chinese business practices as of late (shoddy workmanship, lethal products), we should continue along with their model.....
Remember when they executed those Chinese executives for the melamine horror show?
Do the same thing to these peanut plant CEO's.
I have to agree with you on this one Catz. This company knowingly sold contaminated food. Now people have died. I just wonder what the hell was going through their minds when they said "ship it anyway". At minimum, it's voluntary manslaughter.

Ship it. If a few people die or get sick so be it. They will never be able to trace it back to us.
They should make them eat the stuff.

Perhaps, but that doesnt include benefits.
Anyway, do you seriously think that a contractor would pay more?
According to Salary.Com, the average Agricultural Inspector brings home $1,158.12 every two weeks. I seriously doubt that a contractor will come anywhere close to matching or bettering that amount.
And, if the last 8 years is any guide, the contractors will overcharge the government far more than we pay the current inspectors while paying the private inspectors considerably less than the current inspectors.
By the tine all the class action lawsuits are done jail will be the least of this corporate slug's problems.
Fortunately most corporate types are nearly as bad as this.
FDA food inspections cut almost in half
47 percent fewer checks; testing, staff down since '03
WASHINGTON - The federal agency that's been front and center in warning the public about tainted spinach and contaminated peanut butter is conducting only half the food safety inspections it did three years ago.
The cuts by the Food and Drug Administration come despite a barrage of high-profile food recalls.
"We have a food safety crisis on the horizon," said Michael Doyle, director of the Center for Food Safety at the University of Georgia.
Between 2003 and 2006, FDA food safety inspections dropped 47 percent, according to a database analysis of federal records by The Associated Press....
Once again, thank you, George.
