I am absolutely up in arms over this almond pasteurization situation. There were two cases of E -oli contaminating almonds several years back. As a result, the wonderful FDA has decided it will require farmers to spray the almonds with toxic chemicals; or cook them with steam. The real issue here isn't the almonds at all. E-coli comes from the farm animals, not from plants.
Why not get to, and fix the root of the problem; instead of attempting to fix everything else. Keep the cattle waste under control and away from the food, and it won't infect the food.
By allowing farmers to spray toxic chemicals on food and call it organic, or cook it and call it raw is beyond my capability of understanding. This is the dawn of some serious issues for the raw, and organic markets.
The real issue here is the greed of the American beef industry. They do not follow sanitary, or safe methods of disposing animal waste. Furthermore, they don't give a damn about anything but their revenue. If they did, they would not be injecting the animals with hormones, and antibiotics, known to be harmful to humans. This garbage gets digested right into the human body and wreaks havoc.
Well, that is enough ranting for right now. I am getting too frustrated and POed........
Please do everything you can to revoke this new almond bill passed by the FDA. Here is a link, which explains how to do so: (it also explains a little about the situation)
