more product recalls - dont panic its organic

Many years ago - well really decades ago, if my memory serves me right, the slogan "Don't panic its Organic" was the catch phrase of the day.

At the time (1970s-1980s) health food stores were all the rage in my life from Bondi in the Eastern Suburbs of Sydney to other locations including, Paddington and Randwick.

Well now in 2008, many years from Byron Bay, Brisbane, but now in Woy Woy, natural food still plays a major part in my lifestyle.

It really concerns me to read on about product recalls from China where it seems OHS & R maybe is not even heard of!

Is it western multi-nationals that have moved off-shore in an effort to make an extra buck, or is it some other reason?

Today I read about people becoming sick in Japan where "retailers pull frozen beans from China off the shelves after a woman fell ill eating a product which had 34,500 times the legal limit of pesticide,.

This is really serious stuff, apparently this was a middle class burb and not the cheapest place where one would buy second rate items.

This has gone way too far.

Let us reduce waste, save the planet for our children and be ethical in our living.

Love to you all and live and eat healthy till next time.

What can I say, this is so you... to type your thoughts on a computer screen, never discussing them, maybe you should join a movement & talk face to face with some people about your thoughts.
