You know this pet food recall mess has been really interesting in some ways. It seems that it has caused many people to think about what we are feeding our companion animals and also about what we are feeding ourselves.
After all, it wasn't long ago that people died from eating tainted vegetables, spinach and lettuce, things that are supposed to be "good" for us.
To me this means we have some choices and responsibilities.
It's clear that it really IS important to know as much as possible what we are buying and using in our daily lives. It IS important to buy from local shops and local food growers and suppliers. It IS important to buy organic and recycled products. It IS important to be educated about products and foods we are choosing. It IS important to know what impact our choices have on the environment.
Please don't think that I am lecturing here. I am only reminding myself that the choices we make as individuals really DO matter. I really believe that if enough individuals do the "right" thing real change is possible.
It's time to think.
