One of the rationales for a single food safety agency is that you can't separate animals from vegetables. β€” Marion Nestle

Everything they do - from waging war to building societies - will need to be carried out within the new context of the need for a good job. β€” Jim Clifton

We live in a fantastically wealthy country. We don't have to worry about food. We don't have to worry about clothing. We don't have to worry about our safety.

Companies are increasingly taking responsibility for the safety of the food they sell, rather than risk their brand on a large recall. β€” Andy Kennedy

The forces of safety are afoot in the land. I, for one, believe it is a conspiracy - a conspiracy of Safety Nazis shouting "Sieg Health" and seeking to trammel freedom, liberty, and large noisy parties. The Safety Nazis advocate gun control, vigorous exercise, and health foods. The result can only be a disarmed, exhausted, and half-starved population ready to acquiesce to dictatorship of some kind. β€” P. J. O'Rourke

Children, if they haven't been introduced to foods by the time they're 3 years old, are afraid of it, as if it would hurt them. They don't really get out of that until they're 6 or 7 - it's a safety mechanism, and you're not going to win. β€” Tyler Florence
