Our food supply?

I read yesterday that our government tests very few products that are shipped to the USA. We KNOW that Mexico uses DDT which isnt allowed here, yet we bring their produce here and that is what we get in the grocery stores, cause its cheaper. We have mad cow disease, spinach was bad, green onions, spices and meats and fish from China, dog food, peanut butter, chicken, flour, come on, whats left to go? Im planting a garden and buying from the Amish. I think we need to clean up our own nest before purchasing from others.

Our food supply?
I rant and rave about this all of the time. The FDA allows enough toxic stuff from US sources that are highly questionable, let alone from other countries! I, too, grow my own stuff. I purchase from local, organic farms, and use only raw, unpasturized milk from my happy cow. The allowance of growth hormones, steroids and antibiotics in commercial milk and meat should be banned. Thats why kids are developing at alarming rates. My 12 year old daughter has been on quality milk and vegetarian food for years, and she is clearly more healthy and less developed than her meat eating peers. At 12, young girls should not be wearing b and c cup bras!!! Everyone thinks my daughter is underdeveloped, but her doctor says she is right on track, and that its clear that the growth hormones are effecting kids. Lord only knows what this generation is going to face. I am giving your question a star, and kudos to you for being enlightened about the issue. If not for food allergies, I would have remained blissfully ignorant.
Reply:Yeah, they really need to step it up and start paying more attention to these matters.
Reply:Personally, I think it's all a money issue. If it's that much cheaper fro stores and shops to import stuff from other countries, they will do it. The only way it will change is if we ALL start growing and buying our stuff ourselves or locally. Have you ever looked into a co-op? It sounds like something you'd be interested it. A group of people get together, and it's like buying a piece of a farm.
Reply:I'm with you its scary to known that they are not sure if human food was contaminated .
