CERES, Calif. - A Stanislaus County hog farm was placed under quarantine
after an industrial chemical that's tainted more than 100 brands of dog and cat food was found in pig urine there, state agriculture officials said late Thursday. http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/ap/fn/4733635.html Jill |

They sell single pigs for Luau type parties. Jo |

Seriously, though - why would any animal that is being raised as food be fed a toxic chemical that might remain in the meat?? And anyway, I'm not sure it matters how many people are going to buy the meat. If people get sick from it, I don't think that's acceptable. Your point about not panicking is well-taken, though.

Joyce Where did I say panic?! Sorry, I never meant to imply that you did. I dread the day I can't even trust bacon. And it isn't like I'd feel safe going back to the meatless protein sources (ie gluten) I was raised on. Jo I am going back to the farm and start raising my own food again if this keeps up. Nothing like getting your hands dirty to enjoy and take pride in what you eat. |

I was quite surprised at how easy it was to clean some pheasants a friend shot. Come the revolution, I figure if I'm willing and able to clean and cook them, I'll be able to find someone to kill them. Jo |

But if I had to do it to survive, I think that I'd get over that after a while. It's amazing what you can find the guts (so to speak) to do when you have to! Joyce |
