The beef in my freezer was bottle fed by me. I know what they ate and how they lived.

Food is going to be an enormous world problem in the future. 'Organic' food can't be grown in the quantity to feed an overpopulated world. Though I purchase a lot of 'organic' vegetables and beef. I especially like to get products from farmers markets and I love to get stuff from my granddad's farm. He doesn't sell beef anymore. His current cows are all like pets to him.

I have been just sick about all the damage done by BP in the Gulf of Mexico. It is a lot worse than y'all know. The government has been really downplaying the damage. A UGA scientific study proved that it is much worse. The media barely reported that. They are just lackeys for government propaganda.

But even worse than the BP oil spill is all the fertilizer damage coming down the Mississippi River into the Gulf of Mexico. There already was a huge dead zone spreading out from the Mississippi River delta into the Gulf. The Corn Lobby is one of the most powerful in the USA and as long as they grow mass amounts of corn for non-food products they will continue to pollute the ground with mass amounts of fertilizer and insecticides and allowing it to flow into the Mississippi River basin, and the Gulf of Mexico. The damage is shocking! Once that pollution makes its way around the tip of Florida and gets into the Gulf Stream it will greatly speed up the melting of the ice in the North Atlantic and add shrinking ice around the North Pole. It will help kill the Atlantic Ocean currents and create more Atlantic super hurricanes along with warming up the temperatures of Europe and North America.

The thing is that corn is not the best vegetable for those non-food products. Soybeans are. Soybeans require much less fertilizer and insecticides and don't drain the soil of nutrients like corn does. Soybeans are a much eco-friendlier source but changing to soybeans would hurt the economy of the American Midwest very badly.

It's an assbackwards fucked up world y'all and its getting worse.

I work in a bakery, and have customers complain that the bread got moldy after 3 or 4 days. We don't use preservatives, but most have gotten accustomed to to the commercial bread with a 2 week shelf life. Yes, it stays in the same state for 2 weeks, but is that a state you want your food in? Stores now have to identify the country of origin on their produce, but who knows what is in the processed foods or where it came from.
Most have chosen convenience foods and fast food take out over nutrition, flavor and environment. Not many read a label these days.

i have no clue where my foof comes from. if i have a coupon for something i'll buy it.

Wow...I had some idea of why I wanted to avoid irradiated foods, but no inkling of all this crap. Whoever thought this would be a good idea, probably won a Nobel and should've been tarred & feathered instead.

The best thing you can do for your fellow,
next to rousing his conscience, is - not to give him things
to think about, but to wake things up that are in him...
to make him think things for himself - George MacDonald

fruit and veges grown outside my back door,
beef and Lamb organic farmer down the road
Chicken....now this is the problem. i don't have chickens but i do buy organic free range Chickens from the supermarket, i can only hope the laws here make sure that they are indeed organically raised.

As many of you will know by now it seems in the U.K many beef products have been found to contain horse meat some by up to 80% A lot from Ireland and the Eastern Block countries.

I totally agree on all!!

And I try not to buy anything (not just food) from China, though it is virtually impossible these days!

If toys are not good (toxic paints) from China than we can imagine how’s the food.

Remember S O i L - The emphasis is on Seasonal Organic and Local as much as you can.

Also cook more at home. You know what goes or can go on in your kitchen, than you can imagine but still underestimate what goes on in a restaurant kitchen and they are all stressed by financial commitments.. read also greedy.

Fish is been under scrutiny right now here in NY. Words as wild or sushi graded are not much associated with the real meaning. Restaurants that serve $30 Wild Red Snapper.. it's really a $3 tilapia from an overcrowded farmed tank.

Practice what you know, and it will help to make clear what now you do not know. — Rembrandt

There is poetry as soon as we realize that we possess nothing. — John Cage

I totally didn't know that until my flatmate's boyfriend told me I was eating chemical garlic, I was actually quite shocked! I thought they were just grown somewhere in the far south of NZ. Silly Me.

I must admit, in NZ they are rather anal about labelling everything and where it comes from so I would like to think we are safe if only I read the labels. What really worries me is all the stuff they put ON my fruit and veg, for example the stuff they wax cucumbers with can be really harmful in large quantities.I am definitely a pealer now.

For the most part I try and only eat in season to be a bit safer.
