Trends in advertising are promoting food that is
unprocessed,
nutritious,
seasonal,
local,
fresh,
raw,
family-farmed,
sustainable,
naturally raised,
no growth hormones,
no antibiotics,
open pasture,
organic,
artisanal, and
humane….
But is it safe?
Each and every year, 76 million Americans are sickened by food or water.
The Food Safety Network “passionately believes in developing and evaluating the use of new messages and media to compel individuals from farm-to-fork to practice safe food behaviors and help create a culture that values microbiologically safe food.”
“Organic” and “local” do not describe safeness.
The Barf Blog warns us about barf,
puke,
vomit,
diarrhea,
and the squirts.
