If You Want Safe Food, Know Where It Comes From
No, this article isn’t *quite* what I expected from the title, but it had a really educational diagram showing how to tell where your eggs are coming from, and some references to web sites for trackable products. In VT, we debate the merits of labeling food origins through National Animal ID, but at the same time, the majority of consumers buy most of their products without a clue as to where it came from. There’s no easy answer here…perhaps the best answer is one of scale. If you can know your farmer in person, that’s best. If you can’t know them, be able to trace back to them.

With so much imported food of questionable safety inpsections or checks I think this is very important.
