In other news [FDA to have more oversight]

Finally something we can all agree on. I mean, really: The Senate has passed new legislation giving the Food & Drug Administration more power to oversee the food we consume. After a year of stalling (what were they waiting for!?) the bill finally passed the Senate and is expected to pass with bipartisan (gasp!) support in the house. I still think that the FDA is much too lax in many ways, but at least this is a step in the right direction.
