Pew poll: 9 in 10 Iowa voters support more government oversight of food

Well, this seems to add a bit of truth to the old Minnesotan canard that Iowa is really an acronym for "Idiots Out, Wandering About"...but I daresay that most of the country falls into this category of idiocy, not just the residents of the Hawkeye State. Government regulations can't solve the problem, because government regulations are the problem.

Ninety percent of voting Iowans believe the government should be given additional authority to ensure the food they eat does not make them sick, according to a new poll commissioned by The Pew Charitable Trusts and conducted by Hart Research and Public Opinion Strategies. Support for stronger food protections is high regardless of voters' gender, income level or political affiliation.
