Okay, I guess we'll be eating more beans! My daughter and her partner are vegan. I've greatly reduced our meat consumption, but it's still in our diet. Or, maybe not. This is a beyond sobering report. Thanks for taking the time to lay it all out.

I subscribe to a free newsletter provided daily by Marler Clark, the preeminent law firm dealing with food safety. I often get news days before it hits the mainstream outlets. You can subscribe here:

Also, a search for "bill marler food safety" on YouTube will return many short newsy features regarding food poisoning outbreaks.

Finally, there is an excellent documentary on Nexflix, titled "Poisoned." Worth a look.

He can be problematic. He's part of the movement to make food sterile and...that is doing more harm than good.

Can you elaborate? I've followed the newsletters for a few years and had not noticed any extreme bias. Thanks.

And of that recalled food, how is it cared for so that it doesn't turn into methane in Landfills? Rhetorical that.

It isn’t. It is covered in ink and dumped

UGH. and considering the N:C ratio of meats/animal products is so much higher than predominantly plant based foods, METHANE gets out of hand fast in landfill options.

I've always suspected that large animal disposal from euthanasia should be composted or liquefied by aquamation over burial.
