Food

Listen, people. About this tainted food supply thing...

The general consensus is that due to dilution, this isn't going to kill anybody.

The U.S. meat process is a little questionable. We feed things to the animals we eat that I'm not entirely nuts about ingesting. "Organic" and "free-range" meats are probably the way to go, for safety's sake. Even better is wild game.

But most of us can't afford to eat like that, or lack the time and commitment required to fill the freezer with wildlife.

And that's okay. Really. Our food supply is the best and safest in the world.

Millions of people buy their food in places like this.



Then again, places like that do their own meat cutting to order right in front of you.



I'm not saying we shouldn't keep an eye on our food supply, folks, but it's good to remember that many people around the world manage to survive by eating things that are nowhere near our "acceptable level of sanitation."
