Thomas Friedman's, The World is Flat, was a real eye opener. As more and more companies are leaning toward outsourcing or "insourcing" in order to cut costs, the differences between cultures and guidelines becomes more apparent.
Of course the latest horror has occured with the recent problem with Menu Foods use of wheat gluten imported from China. The melamine (or is it rat poison...the jury is still out), has brought the problems of outsourcing right into the homes of many animal lovers including myself. If a lethal substance can get into our pet's food supply, how long will it take to reach the human food supply?
It's time to start rethinking about the origin of our food supplies. No wonder organic homegrown foods are becoming a great hit.
