Peanut Butter Company Banned from Business with Federal Government, but Big Pharma Kills Thousands More with Impunity

By Mike Adams, February 6, 2009 | Key concepts: Peanut Corp, Food safety and Banned

The U.S. Dept. of Agriculture has banned Peanut Corporation of America from doing business with the federal government. The reason for the ban? Peanut Corp lied about the safety of its peanut butter product, which sickened several hundred people and is linked to the death of eight.

But hold on here: Drug companies routinely lie about the safety of their products. And pharmaceuticals kill at least 100,000 Americans a year, even when used as directed. So why hasn't Big Pharma been banned from conducting business with the federal government?

The reason is obvious: Because Peanut Corp. doesn't have influence in Washington, but Big Pharma does.

Don't think for a minute that action against Peanut Corp is about public safety. If anyone in Washington were genuinely worried about public safety, they'd go after the drug companies, or the chemical polluters, or the companies putting toxic chemicals into the food on purpose! (Aspartame, MSG, sodium nitrate, etc.) But this is about grandstanding, not protecting the public. So authorities in Washington can put on a good show pretending to "protect the public" while pressing for criminal charges against a company that sells a product that's thousands of times safer than pharmaceuticals -- even when it's contaminated with salmonella!

Hilariously, as the NY Times reports, a top dog at the Agriculture Department said, "The actions of P.C.A. indicate that the company lacks business integrity and business honesty, which seriously and directly hinders its ability to do business with the federal government."

Well gee, if this is the criteria for doing business with the federal government, there's practically no pharmaceutical company in the country that shouldn't be banned!

You want to protect Americans? Conduct criminal investigations against drug companies and the FDA. That's the fastest way to stop the needless deaths plaguing our nation thanks to a corrupt, criminally-operated health care system run by crooks.
