It will change when people stop buying the crap. It hasn't happened yet...

DD, you may remember years back when they had people die from e-coli and after a long investigation they found lettuce and the another instance was spinach that was being watered by ponds down hill from where the kept cows and their waste. The bacteria was actually in the plant so even if you washed and scrubbed the lettuce you’d still get sick. Pretty disgusting. The “you are what you eat” made you really question meats, how the animals are kept and really how processing them makes them so unhealthy it ages you. I really like meat so not sure what I will change except to go organic which I know is expensive. Or like Dr. Malone always says local supply is much cleaner and humane….

T., It has been done. Settlers settled for Squirrel because it was available.

Yup, I buy organic chicken from a company called "Bell and Evans" it is the most clean and wonderful chicken. There are sources of grass fed beef, some organic also and Bison, as well as turkey. Food is medicine is what I say to myself as I plunk down $$. No pork, for many reasons... (There is another company, Applegate organics, lots to choose from, pretty pure.)

James, Yes - organic food is expensive, actually living is expensive. In terms of expense, being dead is definitely the less expensive choice. And so we pay...

I actually made chicken parm last night with organic “Bell and Evans” chicken. It’s really better in many ways. Taste, tender, cleaner…

There is a big B&E plant in PA, we drive past from time to time. I'll wave at your organic meal, as I drive by the next time out there

All we can do is educate, the rest is trying to brake habit and cost constraints.

You’re correct. Brain-fog, neurological autoimmune issue. It can pop up in stupid ways.

Actually, not stupid. Our brains can do funny things, maybe I'll practice seeing how many words I can find synonyms for. I did do that a day or two ago, to Randall, but I needed to point it out... I thought it was funny!
