Our Food Is Unsafe

Sometimes we get overwhelmed by the headlines of a problem with one commodity or one producer. The reason these stories are called news is because they are not normal. Normal in the U.S. is a safe, abundant, affordable food supply. I Googled “safety of the U.S. food supply” just to see what would pop up, and I found many articles and studies with this same fundamental message: The American food supply is the safest in the world, thanks to industry and government efforts. Because our food supply is so safe, we have a luxury that people in many countries don’t have; we can take it for granted.
