Americans are afraid of their food. And for good reason. In 2011, the deadliest food-borne illness outbreak in a century delivered killer listeria bacteria on innocuous cantaloupe never before suspected of carrying that pathogen.

We expect, even assume, our government will protect our food, but how often do you think a major U.S. food farm get inspected by federal or state officials?
