wow so much control now spreading into all aspects of life. The more these laws are put in place they more we will see people getting sick I believe, eating traditional prepared foods helps to build our immunity as it causes it to work in a natural way with natural germs etc that surround us, our body needs to be exposed but when everything is sterilized our immune system becomes sluggish, and our bodies are then exposed to other unnatural products that are used to 'protect our food'. This is very bad in my eyes. Making our bodies weak, thank you for sharing this x

Great points! I had just been thinking of why it's important culturally (and safe given extent of use over the centuries), but you raise another key point. It is important to NOT use these new sterile approaches that weaken our immune systems by treating life itself as a pathogen!

Akin to "free range" minimum requirements, one of my USDA faves has to do with "natural flavors" that are part of the ingredients lists of SO MANY commercially produced/sold foods! What the heck is this natural flavor that cannot stand alone as an ingredient??
I would very much enjoy increased access to traditionally prepared foods. I agree with @trucklife-family and @indigoocean that the opportunity to strengthen our immune systems may be one of many positive results. I love the tradition described in the article re: the story behind that ear of corn; the spirit energy afloat in my squash soup. Yum to my heart and Soul!
An even stronger motivation is economic. If/when my dollars are spent within a community that I care for deeply, a community I wish to support and see thrive, then I will ALWAYS point those $$ in that direction.
The beauty of mutual benefit: confidence that my health and Soul Energy will improve while I also deliver an economic benefit to the Native / traditional producer.

So true. I would definitely rather support tribal farmers than major factory farms. (I've also always been suspicious of those "natural flavors.")

And then, howsabout them "artificial flavors?" Ah, the curse of reading food labels and ingredient lists! Oh well, live and learn AND learn to live.

Are you kidding me? Of course I'd go for the traditional foods. It really annoys me (and that's not strong enouhg a word) that there can be so much regulation on something that's been happening for thousands of years without it. Bloody bureacracy. Sharing on @naturalmedicine now.

Yeah, I feel pretty strongly pro naturally cultivated and prepared foods myself. There are definitely good things about food laws that are meant to prevent things like e. Coli outbreaks, but there needs to be respect for the idea that there is more than one way to do that.
