Please respond to my attempt to collect raw data for a research paper. I appreciate your time and effort.?

Question

Using a scale from 1 to 10, with 1 meaning you have negative feelings/thoughts and 10 meaning you have positive feelings/thoughts, please rate the following statements:

1)I believe that the food supply in America is safe to consume.

2)I would rather purchase food grown in America than food imported from other countries.

3)I feel the FDA does an excellent job of ensuring that our food is safe to consume.

4)I think that the number of recent toxin outbreaks in our food supply isn’t enough to warrant extreme caution while monitoring homegrown and imported produce.

5)I feel that we should continue to import produce and goods from China.

6)I believe that toxin outbreaks that have originated in the United States are usually from lack of supervision of employees in food warehouses/packing plants.

7)I believe that it should be the consumer’s job to thoroughly inspect products before purchase.

8)The FDA has invested an adequate amount of time on the recent salmonella outbreaks.

Some of these questions are very poor.  A consumer cannot know if produce is polluted.  The amount of time is too much time, but their methods have been inadequate, people are still getting sick.  Produce should be bar coded at the farm of origin.
