Carl Winter’s Food Safety Music
How about a little food safety music to start your day? This is from Carl Winter at the University of California – Davis. He’s got several food safety themed songs available including lyrics and a powerpoint presentation. I thought you’d enjoy the USDA song.
People, there’s no need to despair
If you’re worried ‘bout your food, land, and air
I can tell you, there are people who care
There’s no need to be unhappy
People, there’s a place you can go
Where there’s research on how to make your plants grow
And some programs that pay the growers some dough
Even when they don’t plant nothing
It’s fun to work with the U.S.D.A.
It’s fun to work with the U.S.D.A.
They are everything
An agency can be
They look out for you and me
It’s fun to work with the U.S.D.A.
It’s fun to work with the U.S.D.A.
Congress legislates
Then they regulate
They get to make all the rules
If you’re worried ‘bout microbes in your beef
FSIS, they’ll provide some relief
Their inspectors have sharp authority teeth
They’ll put the bad guys out of business
Food stamps, yes they handle those too
School lunches, here’s some pizza for you
And extension, to teach us all that is new
It is really quite impressive
It’s fun to work with the U.S.D.A.
It’s fun to work with the U.S.D.A.
They are everything
An agency can be
They look out for you and me
It’s fun to work with the U.S.D.A.
It’s fun to work with the U.S.D.A.
Congress legislates
Then they regulate
They get to make all the rules
If those Medflies try to get in your way
They’ve got APHIS there to enter the fray
And they’re armed with malathion to spray
So our growers need not worry
If disasters come and wipe out the farm
Crop insurance is there to lessen the harm
If there’s surplus, there’s no need for alarm
Thanks to price supports and Congress
It’s fun to work with the U.S.D.A.
It’s fun to work with the U.S.D.A.
They are everything
An agency can be
They look out for you and me
It’s fun to work with the U.S.D.A.
It’s fun to work with the U.S.D.A.
Congress legislates
Then they regulate
They get to make all the rules
It’s fun to work with the U.S.D.A.
It’s fun to work with the U.S.D.A.
They are everything
An agency can be
They look out for you and me
It’s fun to work with the U.S.D.A.
It’s fun to work with the U.S.D.A.

It's time to thank our farmers and ranchers for all their hard work to feed us.
