VLA comment: Tom Vilsack, the former Governor of Iowa is just a figure head as Secretary of Agriculture (USDA). The real person in charge has been working behind the scenes in government since Dr. David Kessler’s time (the tobacco debacle) is Jerold Mande, USDA’s Deputy Under Secretary for Food Safety. His best buddy is the czar of the FDA, Monsanto’s Michael Taylor. No one hears much about Jerold. Bottomline is Jerold Mande runs the USDA and Michael Taylor runs the FDA. I called the USDA to find Jerold Mande. I asked what his title was and they would not give me that information. I said I think he is the deputy secretary and the telephone operator said she could not give me that information but If I give her my name she would have him call me. I am amazed that our own government agency has such a defense about transparency that I can’t even get the job title of one of the agency’ heads. May be you would like to ask him about Food Safety…Give it a try. See what you can find out...202 720-3631
