Even the Industry Thinks the FDA is Wrong!

I am glad to see that the poultry industry is figuring out that they have to do the right thing or consumers will bite back.  We have all thought the government would look out for food safety and standards but check out this article from WorldPoultry.net on the FDA’s proposal to hide Irradiated Food.   These guys have figured out that the market won’t put up with deception but of course in Europe, people spend more on their food and are more concerned about quality (per survey data not just my opinion).  Check out this article from the same edition on “How animal welfare affects shopping in Europe.”

The EU bans caged egg production in 2012 and is very far ahead of us in establishing humane standards for animal care.  Given the recent pet food crisis and lack of accountability within our own government, we need to ask more questions and be more engaged anyway!  Of course, you vote with your purse, and next election, have the opportunity to consider this issue as a voter!
