The Egg Recall of 2010
Wednesday, September 8th, 2010 At 12:07 am
Buried in the news of the summer was the reports that came out this past August of one of the largest egg producers having to recall some 380 million eggs linked to an outbreak of salmonella. This type of news may be shocking to most, but it really shouldn’t be.
For far too long, most of us have trusted that Mega Farming Corporations have had our best interests at heart. Obviously, it is irresponsible to paint all large corporations with a broad brush, but it is safe to say that your local, small farmer is going to be far more connected to their product AND with their community.
When I speak to patients and friends, I try my best not to be “preachy”, but this recent egg outbreak is yet another example of why I strongly encourage everyone to be more conscientious about what you put in your body, and where you get your food from.
For more information on local food or the organic food movement, check out the local news clip or better yet, take 90 minutes to view either documentary “Fresh” or “Food, Inc”.
