I would do anything for my homemade ice cream, but I won’t do that
A few months ago I stopped eating eggs. They were expensive and I was lowkey worried about bird flu. Yes I know if you cook them through they should be fine. It’s not that I didn’t understand. I was just still bothered. Enough that the relief of quitting them outweighed missing them. I don’t miss them. Other people in my house still eat them. I have the option. I just don’t.
But now I have to consider if I want to continue to drink milk and eat yogurt since the FDA is suspending milk quality tests.
Milk and yogurt are a huge part of my diet. Butter too. Plus meat. Another food that is important to have standards for. And let’s not forget how many foods that get contaminated and recalled are vegetables. Lettuce pretty regularly. Cucumbers pretty recently.
I eat real fresh food. Most of it was recently alive. And that is dangerous if it is not handled properly in a mass production environment.
I am worried about my food. I am worried about your food too. I am worried about food safety. I am worried about food transparency.
Am I just going to have to be sick occasionally? Do I just have to accept that?
Or am I supposed to trust that Kroger and Albertsons would never do anything sneaky or inappropriate to sell me their product? Am I supposed to trust in the free market?
Because I won’t do that…
