I just saw Food, Inc. & let's just say I was stunned at the decline of the food industry here. All the way from Monsanto to the federal government & everything in between. It all intertwines. It's sickening. Do you guys know, if you buy those little seed packets at say just a neighborhood nursery or Stein's, are those in connection w/Monsanto at all? I'm discouraged by the amount of reading I need to do to try to make sure the food I eat isn't connected to Monsanto or Tyson, Perdue, etc. Legislation.....that's the only way. Legislation & regulation.
Uh . . Legislation & regulation is what would seem to been proven to fail.
No, the nastiness of the food industry is because there is not enough regulation. Please watch Food, Inc., you'll know what I mean afterward.
There aren't enough regulations for the BIG FOOD and BIG AGRA companies and WAY TOO MUCH REGULATION of the small farmers, organic farmers and Americans trying to grow food in their front yard!
A lot of the contamination issues can be addressed by simple cleaning but the BIG AGRA people dn't want to be bothered.
Also watch "Food Matters" This is a GREAT documentary. It is free on YouTube.

Exactly! I'll see if that's on Netflix as well. What I found interesting was the farmers who don't use Monsanto seed but if their seed gets crossed w/a neighboring crop of Monsanto, that farmer can get fined....or is it sued? I forget what the practice is butI found that to be outrageous.
And also, the feds arresting the illegal immigrants that work at I think they were talking about maybe Tyson or Perdue but conveniently wiping the slate clean for the actual company. No tickets, nothing. But get rid of the poor worker who was hired by them & is making a decent enough wage. What hypocrisy that goes on, it's disgusting.
