But don't you know, they don't even allow you to anymore, so many of our local farmers who grew on their lands and raised their own animals farms, govt has put a stop to it. So much hassle of paper work and trying to do it, made them stop. So yeah only big Manufacture farms and we wonder why we all get so sick and not healthy.

      Diamond, do you live in the US? First thing I'd suggest doing before anything is checking with your local town/city hall and see if you are even allowed to raise them. Most do allow it, but alot of towns will have very different rules on how many, what the enclosure looks like & how much space you need etc. Just a helpful tip before you get started :)

      That's not even close to being true. It's a little closer to being true if you count salt and sugar as preservatives, but while they do act as preservatives, their primary purpose is for flavor, and being a little closer to being true in this case is still far from being true. I'll just name one of countless examples: unsalted potato chips. The only ingredients are potatoes and vegetable oil.

      Ibrahim Genex I disagree with this. There are a lot of organic items where you can literally taste the difference. I can’t say it is true of all organic items, but I can taste the difference between organic fruit and non organic fruit myself, for example. Veggies, not so much, though. Flours, by far organic flours make much tastier homemade breads, cakes, and cookies.

    I worked in the deli department of a grocery store in Pittsburgh, Pa and we had a rotisserie that cooked whole chickens. When the chickens were raw if they felt slimey or had a bad smell we were told the fill the prep sinks in the deli with hot water and a very small amount of bleach. Then we would dip the chickens in the bleach water, then rinse them with plain cold water, then cook them in the rotisserie. I was just doing what I was told by the deli department manager.

    It's scary. When I was trained in food safety, we covered the difference between ground beef and select cuts like steak. We were told that we can eat steak that's cooked to a bloody rare because the outside - which is exposed to bacteria, is cooked, and that the inside isn't exposed in that way, and is therefore safe to eat raw. At the very least training for the culinary trade should be aware of this mechanical tenderizing and how it exposes the inside of the food to contaminants usually found on the outside.

    My big complaint in the USA, is that meat, especially chicken, doesn't keep well. It is older than the label says. I've noticed that sea food, especially shrimp, is labeled as wild caught when it is farm raised in asia. There's a big difference. The best seafood comes from the local sea food store or off the boat. Shrimp have to be 3 days old before it can be peeled. Fish that have the slime washed off will not keep as it contains its own natural antibiotic. Home grown by a small local farm is safer, fresher, and tastes better. No preservatives. It costs more, but there is a reason. Oh, and GOD didn't change egg sizes, the USDA did. GMO produces more, but that is the only good thing about it. Ask if the farmer has "heritage brands". Veggies and produce from California is bred to ship and store well.

      I don't bother with bags unless needed to contain (ie cherries, brussel sprouts...) because the bags just bring in more germs. The purchased items already have been touched by everyone after coughing and pooping. I wash it all with Dawn and Vinegar.

    this show is the best example how different opinions are brought to truth with the facts, but comes with subtle sense of no solutions to the psuedo problems explained, means its a kind of fearmongering to last consumer who doesn't care and even if cared businesses won't change as to bring such change there will be costs and the customers do not want to pay more, because they don't have more.

    Chicken is to be washed with vinegar or lemon or salt or a combination of. Everything it touched and the surrounding area is to then be thoroughly scrubbed with bleach, soap, and warm-hot water. Also thoroughly SEASON and cook the chicken properly. Just how I grew up.. 🤷🏾‍♂️

    People aren't dying from meat-borne food borne illnesses left and right. The majority of food borne illness is from vegetables and fruit (aka fresh produce). This is at least true in the US.

    Back in 2008 my mother ate a chicken she cooked then spent 2 weeks in hospital fighting a bug that had never even been seen in chicken before.
    Department of Environment and Health spent a fair bit of time conducting their own tests while she was in hospital.

    In the " Pumped Beef " ,as it's called ,is mostly sold for restaurants' and Gov't commissaries because of the cheaper grade. There are a few meat markets that sell pumped beef but rarely in big chain stores. There more streaked in Big Chain stores.
