Respected food safety commentator Jim Prevor, also known as the Perishable Pundit, gave a nice shout-out in his blog to a recent Star Tribune editorial about a pioneering University of Minnesota consumer food safety tracking survey. Prevor's well-regarded site also followed up with one of the editorial's key sources: Jean Kinsey, Co-Director of the Food Industry Center, U of M professor in applied economics and principle investigator on the tracking study. The Perishable Pundit's Investigator and Special Projects Editor Mira Slott did an interesting question-and-answer session with Kinsey on the study, which is unique in that it provides continuous information about consumer attitudes.

When did we decide that the proper consequence for deep systemic failure is a soft landing?
