Food safety is becoming a major challenge in these days of the factory farm. Food is processed and packaged and sold,the unsuspecting consumer has no knowledge as to what cemical contaminets may be present in the food be it meat,grain, fruit,water etc.
The mass production of food also introduces many pathogens into the food chain.We take it home from the supermarket it's atractively packaged,they are a national chain,we never suspect that the goods may be damaged. 700 cemicals are routinely used in food processing,over a 1000 are added to water for treatment purposses.How many cemicals leach into foods from the packaging? In the past 35 years over 70 million cemical compounds have been manufactured in America.
Just be aware that the extra bucks that you're shelling out don't provide an extra dime of safety or nutrition.
I was never comfortable buying a bag of under sized wormy apples for five times the price.
Sensei Maloney told me years ago "there's no sense polishing an apple if it's rotten inside". He was talking of tobbacco of course. But this rule of living in today's world must also be applied to the food we eat. It becomes more difficuilt to eat healthy each year as modern science introduces more poisons into the food chain.
