Salad Recall

There's a recall on bagged salad coming from potential salmonella contamination.  Kudos to Taylor Farms Retail for recalling this stuff BEFORE any people reported being sick.  Though, I can't help but wonder if this extra caution is due to the recent cantaloupe catastrophe with listeria.  Extra scrutiny is good, but why does it have to follow on the heels of people getting sick and dying?  It's not a new pattern of course, our society always examines circumstances surrounding a disaster very carefully, until there is a more exciting...

OMG! Lindsay Lohan got arrested again!?

Attention span of our collective consciousness?  A 6 months, tops.
But you know who has a long term view of your health and environmental health?  Your local organic farm.  These guys care about the soil from decades to generations.

And they take good care of their products,
to keep the products safe,
because they care about you,
because you vote with your fork.
