Hah, good luck with that. The reason food and drug companies get away with so much as it is, is because they have the money to pay off the government to stay out of their business.
Government officials take bribes, and lobbyists from the food and drug industries make sure the government doesn't hinder their profits. Unless you're gonna get rid of lobbyists, and change the whole way government officials work, this isn't going to change.

Exactly. And that's the plan :) (well.. not QUITE getting rid of lobbyists, but close enough)
