Hold my soap box for a minute!!
I sat in a meeting last night where everyone was worried about vegetable and whatever virus or parasite was on them. And how fast food restaurants are removing the veggies from their food to "combat" the issue.
Im not worried by this most recent attack to our food system. Why? Because thats a big portion of why we raise our own food.
But do you guys realize this happens every year? The nation as a whole relys on large manufacturers to produce and deliver their food to grocery stores. There is no good way to mitigate every circumstance in those conditions!
Last year it was eggs. The year before beef. Im not sure what next year will be but I'm sure it'll be something.
The only way to be sure your safe is to know where your food comes from. Does this mean im telling you to go buy the farm and raise your own food. No. While i think thats a great thing to do,its not for everyone. But go to farm markets,roadside stands. Heck stop at someone's house where you see a garden and talk to them.
The truth is the farther we get from the source of our food, the sicker we become.
