Want true health reform? Fix the fraudulent food industry

Wednesday, March 31st, 2010

An article in The Seattle Times (link below ) indicates that there is a lot of food “tainting” and blatant lying going on.

In the article, the writer eludes to the fact that honey  may be diluted with sugar beet or corn syrup, or that the “Sheep’s milk cheese” is actually made from cow’s milk.

The FDA is trying to figure out how to crack down on this.

I would say  (and have often said in this blog and in newsletters):

Get to know a local farmer. Buy from a local farmer, or farmers that you have come to know and trust. Ask them how they grow their crops.
