Contamination.

This is the website for the washington stae healt department http://www.doh.wa.gov/ehp/food/recall.htm
There are a number of thid that have been recalled in the past couple months. And while I was looking at the site I began to think about HOW food becomes contaminated. I know about salmonilla and E. coli. and that most of the time it's from over crowding. But, I wonder if I could look into the specific food and see if I can find the actual cause instead of just information about the disease. I'd like to look into that this week while continuing my previous proposal. I just really want to have research to back up WHY we should know where our food has been. I'm still working on finding research that backs up my claim that local food is healthier for you. I found this one about local food being less susceptable to bioterrorism. http://fogcity.blogs.com/jen/2005/06/buying_locally_.html It's a tinsy bit of a stretch. Still searching. This week I am going to be in DIRECTED STUDIES MODE. Nothing can stop me.
