BARFBLOG: Home gardeners ‘disconnected’ from sources of foodborne illness - (barfblog)
March 16, 2008 – 6:40 pmI love our garden. It’s a decent size, with lots of berries, beans, tomatoes and greens.
With spring just around the corner, I’ve started some seeds (right, interspersed amongst the French literature books that Amy is fond of) and started working the soil.
It’s also time for a new crop of stories about how local food is safer, better and just all around morally superior. Like the Arizona Republic last week, which stated,
“An increasing number of consumers hit hard by escalating food costs are, planting backyard gardens to save grocery dollars while protecting the environment against pollutants and themselves against tainted food.”
