I grew up in the country on a small farm.

First Eggs, Now Deli Meat. Is Anything Safe to Eat?

This isn't about wether you want to be a vegetarian or not.

Factory farming will make us sick. There are going to be recalls. It itn't healthy. You can have the USDA and the FDA pass all the regulations you want. The only people that get hurt are the small farmers. These big industrialized farms always find ways out. Also the USDA and FDA go lighter on them. Remember that some of our high ranking officials in these departments are former high ranking employees from places like Monsanto.

What you can do about it is buy from a CSA and farmers market as long as they're going. Can your fresh fruits and vegetables when they are in season, and don't believe them when they tell you that what we need is more regulations. I buy fresh USDA goats milk from a very nice lady who has to vaccinate her goats against things goats don't get. Why would she vaccinate them against things goats don't get? She has to for the USDA designation.

Did you know that Europeans don't have to refrigerate their eggs? Well, when a chicken lays an egg there is a clear natural coating on it that protects it. In Europ it's not required that eggs be washed before sold. You may think, what about any chicken poo that might get on it. Well, it does have that natural coating on it and maybe they dust them off. The point is when you wash them off with water it's like saying that you have to break the seal before you can sell your jam.

Anyway, just something to think about.
