While I agree with the EWG (Environmental Working Group) that strengthened food safety is critical to the well being of our society at large, it should be pointed more towards the food industry giants than the small farmer growing produce, raising chickens and eggs, etc., for the local community.
In fact, if we stopped eating the fruit loops, processed cheese food, soups with MSG, ice cream with bug killer and antifreeze and the myriad of other things that the FDA allows in the more than 47,000 “manufactured” foods on the shelves in grocery stores, there wouldn’t be such an issue.
