After the posts on E. Coli and Salmonella on both Trendcasting and Odds ' Ends, it is time for Listeria. The recent announcement of Listeria bacteria being found in cantaloupe comes as no surprise. As mentioned in the other posts, the producer's, distributor's, and the USDA are well behind the curve again. Well, I have a way to solve the problem and end the game of Russian roulette, and in the process, provide new jobs. Unfortunately, some federal employees will have to go, but we can make government smaller at the same time. So how can we protect ourselves and end the madness?
We can begin by spending a small amount of money to have entrepreneurs and universities develop simple and easy to use tests that consumers can use at home. Then, mandate the producers and sellers of food products to include a test packet with the tests for E. Coli, Salmonella, Listeria, and any other of the bad pathogens. Then, the consumer can add the test material to the meat, chicken, or vegetable, and wait for 10 minutes or so. If contaminated the color of the test area will change. Is it possible? Absolutely! We have the ability and know how, but we have the government Cul De Sac. And, we are all desperate consumers in the dangerous game of food safety.
