When convenience can kill you.
Over 206 million eggs have been recalled in the US. And now another E.coli outbreak from bagged salads. The eggs were sold primary at Walmart and used at a chain called Waffle House. The salads were traced to Arizona.

I’m glad I have chickens and duck for my own eggs

1

My eggs come from the Amish farm on the ridge. I know all the chicken personally

I buy local because eating chemicals used for convenience, fast food and microwavable food can kill me via analeptic shock. I buy local because it is good for the economy and I buy local so I know where it comes from, what's in it and can visit the farm to observe. I understand that in many places this is impossible and I also understand that it is up to us how and if we will deal with it before ending up like Flint MI. and other similar cities.

This will continue until states and the Federal government decide to fund regulation of our food supply, it's not enough to just have a law. Plants, farms, warehouses need to be inspected regulary. We are not making food for just the people in one city, some products are mixed in batches the cover several states and millions of customers. Factory farming is just a disaster looking for a place to happen.

I saw this the other day and my first thought was, "Holy shit, that's a lot of eggs!" Lol

Then I looked in the fridge and saw the eggs I buy weren't on the list.

Have you ever eaten at a waffle house? In Florida they are at almost every exit from Interstate 95. They probably pay the help minimum page because the help is mostly very old women. They are usually very nice....probably to get a bigger tip. The food is greasy...served up fast...and the check is very reasonable. It is an unusual experience to pull off the highway and grab a bite at Waffle house.

Never heard of them before but then I am at least 4500 miles from Florida. We have several farms in this area mainly because of black glacial soil and FDR sent many Dust Bowl farmers here to resettle new farms.So other than Safeway, Walmart and Kroger's Fred Meyers; many people are fortunate to buy local.

My chickens and ducks are now quaking with fear mostly because of the rooster though.
