Residue Gets in Human Food from Animal Drug Misuse

I am looking for info on Pastime Dairy.....it is a large operation with over 2000 animals..

Below is a link to their "sewage" treatment operation with pictures.

.......and the picture at the link below clearly shows beef cattle...not dairy cattle....or at least not the breeds that I associate with a dairy. And if this is how large dairy animals are "pastured" these days then I don't want to drink the milk or eat dairy products. This is disgusting....and a far cry from the family dairy farms that I was raised on or acquainted with.

Below is a copy of the FDA warning letter...

Par,

The link below may be of interest to you.....it seems that while we are "testing" for drug residues, we are using untested technologies on and in our foods.

According to Schneider's account, an unnamed scientist at the USDA says that, "apples, pears, peppers, cucumbers and other fruit and vegetables are being coated with a thin, wax-like nanocoating to extend shelf-life. The edible nanomaterial skin will also protect the color and flavor of the fruit longer."

He goes on to tell of "engineered particles ... already being sold in salad dressings; sauces; diet beverages; and boxed cake, muffin and pancakes mixes." And most major food manufacturers have or contract with nanotechnology labs. If that's the case, Americans are eating nanoparticles already. But nanoparticles of what?

As a consumer, knowing that my food--even produce--might contain unlabeled nanotechnology is, in a word, terrifying.

Humans take risks every day but we like to know what those risks are, assess them, and then choose to take them. How do I know what type of risk I am taking if I eat a nanofood, and how do I opt out of taking that risk?

And for that matter, why should anyone be asked to take such a risk when no one is doing much safety testing of these new technologies?
