People of the West Coast..

You guys should watch the Frontline tonight on "The Trouble with Chicken". While it effects much of the country, it was mainly the West coast farms which caused a major outbreak of salmonella which lasted over a year due to them not being willing to recall meat (FDA couldn't force them to but the outbreak was clearly linked to them)


I'd bypass Foster Farms chicken if I were you..

You can probably get it online as well on the PBS website..

Seems they are very big supplier to grocery stores in yellow packages. Companies like that need to be boycotted IMO.. It was proven for over a year that it was their chicken causing the specific outbreak, but because the FDA still uses regulations from when Roosevelt started it, they couldn't force a recall due to lax regulations, so the company refused to do a recall voluntarily.

FDA actually had to start shutting down their meat packing plants by removing inspectors to get them to do anything but even then they wouldn't do a recall voluntarily. It took the CDC to verify a direct link with a un-opened package from a person whom was sick to get a recall..

I gotta beat my meat.. I mean eat meat..

I think however I will bypass chicken for now, as it seems it's not inspected as well as beef is. When I leave on my road trip this year, I'm thinking of trying to just buy meat directly from smaller farms. There is a website which lists farms that sell direct to public and raise their cattle on grass feed only, so they aren't eating all the growth hormones and whatever else they mix into the feed cattle eat these days.

Meat can be so gross, this is from a yahoo story:

?Ultra cheap food is made from ultra cheap ingredients, and burgers are no different,? Fear says. ?Even if you try to minimize the bacon, fries, soda, cheeses, and sauces added to your fast-food meal, the meat in your burger is a far cry from what you?d buy from a butcher. In one Annals of Diagnostic Pathology study, researchers studied eight fast-food brands and found that all of their burgers contained between 2.1 percent and 14.8 percent meat. The rest was water, connective tissue, blood vessels, nerves, fat, cartilage, and, in some, even parasites"

My uncle passed away last year but he had one of the largest fish farms here in the state of FL. Grows sturgeon and talapia. If I were to do some off grid thing, I'd do one of those hydroponic greenhouses which you circulate the water into the fish growing tanks.

You can grow the talapia fish pretty easy and use their water to run a hydro growing green house which you never have to fertilize. You get fish meat and all the green stuff out of one system.

I know, that last sentence of ingredients assured I'll never even think about fast food beef ever again.

Pink slime I think is what it's called..

I bought myself a large 12v fridge/freezer combo which I'll now use in my travels. This way I can just buy direct at small farms like I mentioned above.. The site I was talking about was eatwild.com has a large directory of local farms that sell direct and most seem to grow organically, so you get real meat with out all the extra slime..

Check out small town farmers markets as well. I've been to a few where local farmers have fresh and frozen naturally raised chicken and beef for sale.
