How many people in this country raise vegetable gardens every year? How many of us have received little gifts of extra tomatoes, peppers, or corn-on-the-cob from our friends and neighbors? Some people have even been enterprising enough to sell some of their extra veggies at local farmer's markets for a little extra income. Seems like a pretty harmless, normal sort of activity doesn't it?
Apparently not any more. Seems like some Health Department employees think that fresh veggies (the kind that don't come wrapped in plastic and haven't been trucked over hundreds of miles) are a danger to our health. So dangerous in fact, you can't even feed them to your animals. You can read about the Farm to Fork Farm Dinner Fiasco for yourself. And here I thought it was just raw milk that was so dangerous and unsanitary! How naive of me. Perhaps I should only feed my kids out of a can from now on, that should be safe, right?
