This is spot on, Buddy. From time to time I also have pointed this out since I have been on these forums. But banning and inspections cannot solve the problem, though they might help in the relative short term. Ultimately the cost of food would fly through the roof and we'd be right where we are now. The problem is essentially a moral one. That genie is out of the bag and there is no real solution to the problem short of taking a direct role in supervising what enters your home and body. Even that is no guarantee, but it is certainly more effective than giving wholesale trust to others. It is also much more satisfying. To make the thing real nice, someone ought to come up with quick, easy and cheap test kits so that we might test the food we intend to eat. I would heartily invest in such a venture. In fact, I half jokingly thought of developing such a thing long ago. I would have made a nice quick buck if I could have pulled it off. But I don't know a thing about this area.
