Yep that's a totally fair point. I was actually just talking to my father-in-law about that earlier today. We were processing a couple roosters and he was mentioning stories from his mother about how bad meat processing plants used to be.

If I wasn't generally opposed to an ever-growing scope of federal powers, I'd probably support an effective ban or extremely high bar on new additives. If food companies aren't willing to test it they shouldn't bother trying to sell it.
