Oops! Now fish...
OK.
I also can't eat pork. It appears some pigs were fed tainted feed - we aren't quite sure which pigs these were. Some were slaughtered. Just how far this practice spread isn't clear, thanks to the FDA. Mums the word!
OK. No pork.
I should stay away from chicken. Indiana poulterers fed melamine-tainted chicken feed to their chickens, and of course, its unclear where those chickens ended up. I'm in Indiana, so 'eating local' isn't going to fly this time. Should I avoid the eggs as well? The FDA says 'not to worry' but these are the same guys who told me 'not to worry' about the Vioxx I was taking just before people started dropping dead. And so, of course, I'm worried.
Now, I am to avoid farm-raised fish.
Well this is becoming easy... I'll just become a vegatarian! Plants don't eat tainted gluten; and since I'm already avoiding gluten, I should be fine. Well... I do eat rice, I guess. Where does the rice come from? Um, I dunno. The labels don't really say. If there is one thing that probably does come from China, that would be rice.
Scratch that idea.
Besides, I'd still have to avoid packaged spinach (food poisoning - probably should avoid all bagged lettuce too.) I have a nice little crop of organic vegetables growing rapidly out back, but they still won't be ready for consumption for several more weeks... the tomatoes won't be ripe for months.
I'm getting hungry. Can anybody tell me what to eat?
