Dump FDA Food Safety Czar Michael Taylor

It is always helpful when you have a specific target to go after. It has great potential to succeed as it focuses and amplifies the determination of the people.

I have just one thing to add–I’d like to nominate Wendell Berry to fill the position ;) do I hear a second?
