The notion that “a crisis is a terrible thing to waste” is credited to the American economist Paul Romer. Mr. Romer’s observation has since been echoed in a variety of contexts. It could be applied to stewardship of the food supply in the United States.

Even then, in the view of many experts on food safety, the United States has wasted too many crises for comfort.
