Sandwich regulation (2)

In what may be described as Hillary Clinton's most important contribution to the universe, she pointed out a disturbing fact about the wasteful and overlapping government agencies that inspect and regulate food production: "A ham and cheese sandwich on one slice of bread is the responsibility of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, which inspects manufacturers daily. But a ham and cheese sandwich on two slices of bread is the responsibility of the Food and Drug Administration, which inspects manufacturers about once every five years." All kidding aside, she actually made a good point in saying that the government has a lot of agencies that enforce a lot of rules, and the system could be made a lot simpler and more efficient. Either way, it's funny that ham and cheese sandwiches are regulated by the government. #food
