If the latest report doesn’t scare everyone into eating strictly local food I’m not quite sure what would. They are now saying they STILL don’t know where the salmonella outbreak came from. Could be onions, cilantro, jalapeños, or maybe they still just don’t really know… Yeah, that’s comforting.
So, buy local or grow your own! Then you don’t have to worry and start throwing stuff out of your cupboards each time there is an outbreak in our messed up food system.
Take a class on gardening and grow your own, really it’s easy. Put seeds in ground. Give seeds water. A little sun. Seeds grow. Result, FOOD! No pesticides, chemicals or chance of getting very ill. You grew it. You know where it’s been. Don’t feel skilled enough to garden? Meet your new friend, Mr. Farmer-Down-the-Road. Here’s another bonus, local food tastes better!
