Pretention, thy name is marketing. With salmonella!

Probably seen these in stores, right? The label is all postmodern, it's got an umlaut, and they go on about holistic diets and "raw organic food" and all that being all that's in it, so it's good for you. Definitely for a certain target demographic, the vegan/probiotic/etc...types with lots of disposable income. They're something like $3 each.

Ugh, yes. I'm really into reading labels these. No seafood from China, and I'm watching out for those sneaky partially hydrogenated oils, ugh.

I don't touch ANY food product from China.

The problem is, you can't know. A loaf of bread? Wheat gluten...from China. Honey? Likely from China, adulterated with antibiotics. It's the cheapest source for it. If something contains honey, it probably came from China.

Why I even make my own bread, now, bread machine.

Korea, though, stuff from there is even safer than from the US. Everything is covered with ISO certifications, and Korea even briefly banned imports of US beef because they didn't think it was safe enough.

Ironic. Didn't we used to be the leaders in that sort of thing?
