Dunno, but perhaps having a guy with no medical education or experience who eats roadkill, doesn't believe in germs, and takes his grandchildren swimming in raw sewage is the wrong guy to be in charge of our nation's food safety.

Just sayin'.

As of July 1, the Foodborne Diseases Active Surveillance Network (FoodNet) program has reduced surveillance to just two pathogens: salmonella and Shiga toxin-producing E. coli (STEC), a spokesperson for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention told NBC News.

Before July, the program had been tracking infections caused by six additional pathogens: campylobacter, cyclospora, listeria, shigella, vibrio and Yersinia. Some of them can lead to severe or life-threatening illnesses, particularly for newborns and people who are pregnant or have weakened immune systems.

Well, republican bootstrappers who hate big government, you should be testing your own foods anyway, amirite?

Wait, I thought this Administration cared about babies but did not care about pregnant women. I guess not caring about pregnant women is a slippery slope, so now we don't care about babies either. 🙄
