No Misteriosis
All kidding aside and condolences to those who have suffered . . . is it really a surprise that we are having yet another food crisis?
Seriously, if you actually knew how most of your food was made, preserved, transported, handled and all the rest, you probably wouldn't eat at all.
And, of course, if you're a meat-eater (a pox on you all *L*), then it gets even worse.
You can take your health into your own hands, though - not by demanding the government inspect food better or make super great labels to read, but by eating more simply.
Shop at the farmer's market. Buy local and organic produce.
Buy less processed and packaged foodstuffs.
Buy less food per shopping trip but shop more often.
I'm surprised that people are still surprised when these bacterial outbreaks happen, as if we live in a safe and sterile world - if only, then maybe we wouldn't have to many mouths to feed. HA!
I'm often at a crossroads with what to think about the whole situation anyway. On the one hand, we should all have access to safe food. On the other hand, how many of us know or care or take the time to make these decisions properly. On the other hand, maybe this is nature's way of balancing things out - after all, for those that know me, know that I advocate the reduction of the human population as an essential step towards overall world peace, health and safety. On the other hand . . .
Too many hands.

I completely appreciate that you and Nila are personally reducing the population at a ratio of 2:0. Morgaine and I are going for 2:1. I think that makes for a pretty good average of 4:0.5. At that rate we could reduce the world's population to 750 million in one generation!
Now if we can only do something about those families who think having 18 kids is 'God's will'. Maybe it's God's will that you wear a condom, buddy... I mean, he made those too, didn't he?
