Yeah, I know that lots of the food laws are different, but I bet there are still plenty on dodgy things here too!

I wonder if a big problem for US is that they only have 13 abattoirs? They are so many people and very few abattoirs.... The concept of supply and demand for meat there would mean it's so easy for companies to use questionable practices just to keep up with demand.

Some of the ideas you posted were great Sunshine... There's plenty of simple things we can all do to improve our good practices... Sometimes we just take the easy options.

I lice the other thread too... But again, some times time is a factor.

I only watched the doc last night but have been thinking about the foods and products we choose lately... So far I've changed my face wash, shampoo and conditioner and body wash to more natural products.

On another note, my husband and I were discussing how unfortunate it is that we now pay extra for organic products etc when not so long ago, the 'organic' option was the norm!
