Food Recalls

Have you ever checked out the FDA food recall list? The Food and Drug Administration posts food recalls issued across the country at the following website: (http://www.fda.gov/safety/recalls/default.htm).

On the 12^th day in February, there were already 13 recalls for this month. This is problematic and says a lot about food production in America. Since the barnyard became industrialized, farms have become stockyards and the quality of fresh and quality-produced food has rapidly declined.
How can we get food production companies to be more diligent when regulating their production processes?

Congress needs to hold food production farms and companies accountable for their business practices. American citizens need to demand farming practices go back to quality-focused efforts.
What can you do? The first, and simplest, step you can take is by simply refusing to buy factory-farm products and spreading the word to your friends and family. Buy seasonal and local. You can also buy organic when possible. Farms that are all-organic are more eco-minded than their chemically-centric counterparts. And most importantly, educate yourself and try to develop a stronger relationship with the food you eat.
