The common denominator is us.
We want something that has inherent difficulties without the difficulties.
Any solution to those difficulties is the wrong one because we want the
something that has those difficulties to solve but don't want what it takes
to solve them.
Classic "Can't have it both ways" Safe AND cheap.
"Their" profits, depend entirely upon our desires, so they have no choice
but to do what they do when juggling opposites to try and please us enough
to remain customers.
If they don't find some cheap way to make cheap food safe, we won't have
anything TO buy EXCEPT local, grown and picked by us at our labor
rates...and we don't want to pay that price, which is why we buy from "them".
They CANNOT sell something that we won't buy.
If they can't sell it, they are out of business. Period.
A recall is not a sale.
It's *pure loss* that they believe consumers will not pay, confirmed by
the fact that we DO buy that cheap food rather than the local food that
*does* encompass the cost of safety without using questionable measures to
achieve it.
But there is another limit. Define "local"
Truly Local food is completely seasonal. Beans and salt pork all winter
like it used to be. At least the South gets fresh collards with that.
If we want food that's not local for the variety, back to square
one...transport, distribution and the same difficulties... no matter who
grew it at what cost, by whatever method.
More hands, more problems.
Does that redneck collards grower always wash his hands? Is not organic
fertilizer "poop" ?
Was there some reason that people used to traditionally "wilt" their
lettuce in boiling water?
Is irradiation really worse for nutrition than canning?
It's easy to tell someone to not do something when it's not you that has
to do it.
Evils are, always were and always will be relative to what YOU are willing
to do.
What happens if "they" just throw up their hands with the impossibilities
of it all?
Local cannot take up the variety slack, even IF, it is better done, and
there is no guarantee it always will be.
I suppose we could all become farmers and transport ourselves around with
the seasons.
OK Yank. Feel like a bit of Tex/Mex tonight? Good luck. Dried apples
and half rotted cabbage with carcinogen smoked sausage again, you old sour
kraut.
Just look back 80 years and see what diet was like. STILL had Salmonella
cases.
In 1964 there was no such thing as broccoli or cauliflower on a Southern
grocery store shelf.
Corn, collards, butter beans and black eyed peas, no "other" veggies.
Plenty of Tripe though.

Hi All,
Kurt may be off topic but who can say that he is reporting inaccurately?
We need to wake up and speak up for ourselves and our children!
Blessings,
Peter

I'm not having any trouble believing this. Most of it is already
happening. Do some research.. Conspiracy theory ot not, I think we need
a wake up call now and then..
Think about this: If the FDA has its way:
Â. All your food will be irradiated, pasteurized or killed
Â. All your children will be vaccinated
Â. All your medicine will be based on pharmaceuticals
Â. All your free speech about health will be suppressed
Â. All informative labeling on food and supplements will be outlawed
Â. Growing and selling non-irradiated garden vegetables will become a crime!
(snip)
If you don't believe the FDA wants the public to be sick then just look at
the Oncologists, or anything to do with cancer treatment.
Already you can't sell any product other than a pharmaceutical that claims
to treat or prevent any disease.
This is by design. I believe the FDA wants the American public to be
sickened and diseased. Why else would they ban Free Speech about healing
foods like cherries, broccoli and garlic? Why would they outlaw the
selling of herbs and nutritional supplements that claim to treat and
prevent disease? The FDA wants you to be sick, enslaved and medicated, and
irradiating the food supply is the quickest way to accomplish that.
