Clinton makes a campaign issue out of a ham and cheese sandwich.
Democrat Hillary Clinton:

“A ham and cheese sandwich on one slice of bread is the responsibility of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, which inspects manufacturers daily. But a ham and cheese sandwich on two slices of bread is the responsibility of the Food and Drug Administration, which inspects manufacturers about once every five years.”

http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/216/

Her complaints are echoed in a new report from an FDA advisory panel. The November 2007 report for the agency’s Science Board said the FDA is so overburdened and underfunded that it can’t effectively conduct routine surveillance.

“The nation’s food supply is at risk,” the report said.

And so we find that Sen. Clinton has a legitimate beef on ham and cheese. We find her claim to be True.

4. Who the heck mass produces one-slice-o-bread sandwiches?
I'm not surprised there's an Official Govmint Dept Of One Slice O Bread Sammys, though.
