...but it's conveniently ignored in relation to starving seniors, and the quality of our food (FDA cuts).

Defenders of this can't have it both ways. If "safety" is the reason for restoring ATC funds - and I don't disagree with that - then it certainly should be a reason for restoring funds to Meals on Wheels and the FDA.
