There is no reason to have the same agency regulate drugs and food. One half should be concerned with nutrition, the other should be concerned with preventing disease. Not with poisoning us, then alleviating the symptoms. When you add the Dept. of Agriculture and the EPA, you have a real can of worms; now where is that shiny hat of mine?

I'm a HUGE fan of WBEZ's "This American Life."

 

My favorite radio show outta Chicago that did ONLY two seasons of Showtime shows...  

 

Find this epoisode that I got from buying the entire season on iTunes (description copied from searching and then grabbing from Chowhound):

 

 

Pig episode of This American Life (tv)

really interesting segment on commercial pork production in Iowa -- if you wonder why pig has become leaner, they spell it out. 
followed by a hot dog segment! woo!

It's on Showtime cable
on their website it says 
Episode 6 - "Pandora's Box"
Three stories of the unexpected consequences of trying new things: scientists accidentally discover a way to erase memories and later get surprising requests from people who want their own minds wiped clean; pig researchers accidentally create more problems with every improvement they make; two owners of a Chicago hot dog stand try some novel business practices that unwittingly unleash raw human emotion that would probably be better penned up.

And his 14th is the tears of orphaned children. Gives it a kick!
