More Poop on E-coli

-
Roanoke Times, 6-11-11, Pg 1 & 3: Sprouts from German farm caused E-coli outbreak that killed 31 and sickened nearly 3,100 in Europe.

Major article, great pictures, BUT not one word that the source of this deadly E-coli outbreak was an ORGANIC FARM.
It’s interesting how the liberal media manages to highlight the positives of the things they are promoting and then manage to hide those “little” negative things that detract from their prepared message like:
E coli outbreak: German organic farm officially identified:

Apparently the food reporters didn’t get the messages in the two following 2006 blog items and continue their message that large commercial food operations are the bad guys and small operations and organic farms are always the good guys. That’s interesting when one considers that the big operators have lots of government inspections and the road-side and farm-markets have none.
It’s also the case that large operators use commercial fertilizers and usually don’t have free ranging animals around while small operators often use animal manure and have all types of domestic and wild animals around.

There currently is a movement for folks to obtain and drink raw (unpasteurized) milk. Growing up in the country years ago we all drank raw milk. However, there is significant risk in doing so and why would people promote that practice today?
-
Not withstanding the “chicken little’s” of the media: The US has the safest and most efficient and low cost food production and distribution system in the world serving 300 million Americans plus many off-shore markets. Would be nice to read that wonderful message in the papers once in awhile. Apparently it’s not newsworthy.
