Inspection on the food is something huge the United States of America should really be concerned about. "Each year 5,000 Americans are killed and 325,000 hospitalized by contaminated food" (Timmerman 200). I do not understand this at all. I live in the United States of America, and I do not want to be killed from contaminated food. The United States imports more than half of the nation’s food sources. There should be a law put into place taking care of the inspection on the imported foods. The countries that we import from could easily put some type of pesticide in the food to start an epidemic in the population of the United States. Is that really what we want to happen? There is already enough people getting killed or hospitalized now. We need to decrease the numbers and put a law in place to enforce the inspection of imported foods.
