I think this bill is a good idea, but I'm not sure how exactly it will work. It's important to make sure the food we eat is safe, so I support this board being established to review substances in our food. #HRBill7291

I think it's good that they're looking into the safety of substances in our food. It's important to make sure we're consuming things that are safe for us.
