Farm is a euphemism dubiously applied to petroleum intensive monoculture.<br />Regulations are meant to keep us safe ? That's the Mission Statement. In actual fact, as the history of pasteurization shows, big business seeks monopoly by freezing out small farms and businesses via regulatory schemes oriented towards putative 'food safety' while virtually ignoring toxins and nutritive content.<br />A raw milk producer/activist and a retired Ohio farmer added to my past knowledge of how CIA chief Nelson A Rockefeller destroyed farming in central and South America decades ago.<br />Plus when the Panelist came out with "The Real Winner in Iraq was Monsanto", originally as an essay rather than a YouTube video, it sparked interesting surfing returns around the parameters " Rumsfeld Monsanto"....to the point of a military plan to destroy agriculture worldwide.<br />Those are extreme claims.<br />Background - the Water, Corporate Agriculture and Vaccines files; especially two posts Aug 13 2009<br />http://opitslinkfest.blogspot.ca/p/topical-index.htmlopithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01621946866211400380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30710387.post-40260510397939768362011-11-29T11:09:41.994-08:002011-11-29T11:09:41.994-08:00I do not share your rosy opinion of the CFIA.

I felt sick repeatedly eating luncheon meats long before that story broke.<br /><br />The Red River Cereal boxes do not anywhere say "made in a soy free facility" and this hardly classifies as a Class 1 incident, sorry killing the elderly with Listeria is a class 1. Maybe the product should be recalled but it is not toxic in any way.<br /><br />It is also interesting to note that Red River Cereal is the last "whole ingredient" breakfast product on the grocery shelves in my area and it is cheap per serving. The rest of the shelf is full of breakfast products that actually are Class 1 health risks. I can go without eating for a day barely noticing and my blood sugar is rock stable eating just about anything imaginable, but those breakfast cereals make me light headed.<br /><br />Once again the CFIA fails to do anything useful. Recall for a healthy product that contains soy, even though the package doesn't say it is soy free while the vast majority of the rest of the breakfast cereal isle actually is toxic.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
