Poppycock! Food Company CEO Takes Blame For Food Problems

I saw on the TV news that the CEO of MapleLeaf Foods has declared full responsibility for the recent contaminated food outbreak.
What a load of TWADDLE!
If his idea was realistic, it would mean that society would not need the food regulations that it has.
If his idea were realistic, it would mean that he is making the statement that the food inspection (You know, the food inspections that seem not to occur despite taxpayers paying the officials who are assigned to be responsible for such inspections) is of no consequence one way or the other.
If his idea were realistic, he is saying that all cases of contamination or other occurrences are measurable and preventable as a 100% method of doing business.

Myself, of all people, with my total lack of confidence in the governmental and civil servant morons who allow food to be unsafe by such practices as using the presence of a corporate safety program as justification for not requiring the legal regulations to be a factor, would be happy if this man was able to truly be a scapegoat, and that by taking his responsibility, all society would need is for him to never do it again and all would be well.

But the reality of food safety is that food is not properly inspected by the authorities, so there is no 'back up' of the inspection process that the company processing the food has responsibility for.

I suggest that this CEO take back his acceptance of responsibility, and re-issue it with the addition of 'within the Mapleleaf plant'.

The final responsibility for food safety is with those people who the taxpayers are rightfully expecting to do what they are being employed by the taxpayers to do. THEIR JOBS!

The responsibility of a corporate CEO is clearly split - there are the shareholders, and there are the consumers. And even I cannot expect 100% success on my behalf as a consumer while the shareholders have to be satisfied with profits.

The ones who should be taking the blame are the failures to society, the civil servants who live in a self-protective culture that encourages them to never accept responsibility, or even to do the job we are paying them to do. They favour the practice of letting the food companies self-regulate the food safety, instead of participating in the inspection process.
