Some interesting stuff here ... some of which we already know.

Switch to wild-caught Alaska salmon. If the package says fresh Atlantic, it's farmed. There are no commercial fisheries left for wild Atlantic salmon.

Why do they do this to us? I wonder how many of us have fallen for that line?!!

Thanks for sharing! I'm passing it on to my big sister.

Well crap, that does it for me & mine. The only one I've followed is the farm raised fish, but only because of "color added". I only buy wild salmon, but even here in a coastal state and salmon is numerous, it's expensive so we don't get it very often-maybe once or twice a year. DH is more of a hunter than a fisher, but I keep trying to coax him out there cause I love it.

My question is this.....why doesn't the FDA or whoever stop allowing these practices. Isn't it their job to protect us???

yeah I know, "yeah right, it's the us government whatcha expect???"

I personally have been home canning my tomatoes (in glass of course) for many years. You can taste that "tinny" flavor of canned tomatoes after a while of not eating them.

me too and I try to can more than enough till next year, but once in a while I end up having to buy some anyway especially paste and I don't know for sure how to can tom paste. Although several years ago I did dehydrate some tom slices then ground into a powder. This did have the "paste" taste, so maybe I'll do that again next year.......too late now.

Another thing about this link, I have had store bought potatoes sprout and I've planted some of those too. I wonder if any chemical residues transfer to new plants/tubers?

Great article, Farm! I am happy to report that I don't eat any of those foods from a store.

Thank God for gardens!

Hmmm.... We're doing pretty good. We get occasional beef from family now that we don't raise our own. The cattle are fed hay and corn...

We switched from orchard apples to apples from the same family. They spray twice per year instead of more than a dozen times like the orchard. When we run out, I usually get organic but not always.

Otherwise, we're good to go

I break the beef one sometimes. I try and get grass-fed when I want beef, but it is so danged *expensive*.

And I didn't even think about the tomato one. I eat a can of those every few days in casserole. =\ I've been wanting to switch to home canned anyway... now I have even more of a reason!

Along the same lines with the BPA stuff, I'm getting glass tupperware for xmas! I am quite excited. It's the nice snap kind, and I guess it still seals really well. But now I can heat food in it and everything!

Most of those I was aware of, but not the apples and the canned tomatoes. I was expecting to see soy on there. Huh.

I just never liked canned tomatoes anyway. Oh, except for tomato sauces, but I don't eat a lot of those and try to make my own . . . it just tastes so much better when you do.
