australia--what else don't we know , page-11

afternoon,
couldn't agree more with this "We really need a system tracing the origins of our food eg which exact farm it is grow on. I would be very happy to know which waterways are feeding each crop I am eating."

Seems like common sense to me - the yanks can trace a lot of their food. We can trace a lot of other products in the line of manufacture --------- why the hell don't we trace the most basic of all

food.

I have watched dodgy food practices for years and wondered why there isn't outcry about some of them.

Eg. Potatoes - very common practice to spray them with roundup to kill them to get them to market at the right time.
This was done in NSW when I lived there years back and it is done here in tassie where I live now..

I read the roundup product papers - it says "kills right down to the root"

Well guess what a potato root is? tomorrow's chip.

It seems that widespread and common that surely it must be legal - buggered if I know how though.

have a great day
