<p>Oh, my! I do have to wonder why, if this is the norm, we don't see a lot more major outbreaks of illnesses. But this is a prime example as to why we need to support local food sources!.It's the only way we can know how our food is treated.</p>

<p>I also think we set ourselves up for problems. We live in a germaphobic society that encourages us to oversanitize everything, so our bodies aren't given the opportunity to build resistance to things. Combine that with food that is not monitored and we could see big problems in the future, especially since we're so dependent on other countries for our food.</p> @Gary....thanks, that's good…tag:aquaponicgardening.ning.com,2012-10-15:4778851:Comment:4012372012-10-15T02:20:16.623ZChris Georgehttps://aquaponicgardening.ning.com/profile/ChrisGeorge

<p>Over the past 20 years we have lost nearly 85% of our seafood industry to overseas competition due to their low cost of production. If through food safety improvements and cost competitive and environmentally sustainable production technologies such as urban aquaponics we can win part of it back it is all for the better. Nothing is simple however. Here is an article from Time Magazine called "End of the Line" that tells a good part of the story.</p>
