Talk:United States Department of Agriculture

The "Relationship to capitalism" section seems really weak to me. Of course the USDA regulates the market - not in a dollars and cents way, but in such matters as product labeling (what words can be used, ingredient listing, etc.), product safety (standards, inspections, etc.), creating the old food square and the new food pyramid (dietary recommendations), etc.  ħ uman  16:34, 12 February 2009 (EST)
