HELL NO to Dennis Wolff!!

Ewww (4.00 / 2)

Not a good pick.. lets hope this is just a rumor.

In fairness, it's true that Vilsack just appointed a Deputy Under secretary of Food Safety -- Jerold Mande, most recently of Yale -- who appears to have an appropriate background. But you only make Dennis Wolff Mande's boss if you want to make sure Mande toes the industry line.

At a certain point, it just makes you want to throw up -- your arms at least -- in surrender. Because if these rumors are true and Tom Vilsack at the USDA appoints Dennis Wolff to run food safety there, Big Ag will have taken Obama's message of reform and responded with that Reagan-era chestnut: Just Say No.

Not cool.
