Food Safety needs to begin at the root of the cause. The bottom line is that Ecoli and Salmonella originates from very sick animals. An egg with Salmonella only comes from a chicken with Salmonella. Ecoli gets into our food system when the waste of sick cows ends up in ground beef - thats right, excrement in your burger- or goes downstream into our spinach fields.

These animals need to be raised in less deplorable ways and fed a natural diet so they don't develop illness and pass the risk to us humans. Its also time people become more in touch with where their food comes from so they can make healthy choices.
