Maybe not exactly fun, but there is a great deal of satisfaction in looking at healthy, home grown food preserved in jars and thinking, "I did that. Me, myself and I." The fun comes in opening the jar and eating scrumpitidyumptious food.
Exactly @Shirley Martin I know what I prefer to eat and that’s good clean heathy food in presence to stuff from China / Twain I was poisoned by eating frozen blueberries from China about 5 years ago ( they were labeled product of NZ ) but we’re processed grown in China
A law firm started a class action them dropped it so the producers got away with it scot free I’d imagine there would be still something on line about “Patties poison berries . I contracted hepatitis A think it was https://www.theage.com.au/national/...-berry-hepatitis-a-scare-20150217-13gxw6.html @Dwight Ward
Speaking of tomatoes, you know the stickers that you get with store-bought tomatoes... Well, I thought that those stickers were put on by the grower or wholesaler or food store or somebody. Imagine my surprise when stickers started appearing on my garden tomatoes! Now, I knew that they modify tomato genes to make them tasteless and so they last a long time for shipping across the country or on slow boats from South America. Evidently those same boys put in genes to grow these stickers right on the tomatoes. It must be very scientific and all, what with the stickers being plastic. You can't read them until the tomato gets about half sized.
Maybe ,maybe not. If its canned at home you know whats in it. Plus if anyone has exstra xrops and some fire they can be preserved if the power is lost. Dehydrating works too.We use to can all kinds of food but not anymore.Too much work for us to keep up.
I’d challenge anyone to say how nice fruit or tomatoes are that are purchased from supermarkets … they are like trying to chewing those plastic fruits we used to have for decorations in our kitchens …
How ironic so did my daughter! Much of our food goes to China's rich,they don't want to eat the food grown there. I don't like the taste of home or store bought potatoes but did eat the ones we canned I canned 50bl.s once and only liked them in potato salad.Potatoes to me aren't good canned. But if its all you have in a shtf situation i bet their good.
It sounds like no one is accepting blame. I'm not a virologist but isn't it likely that the hepatitis was passed along through people using the fields as a bathroom? Gross if that's the case.
The virus SHOULD have been denatured/inactivated by the canning process @Kate Ellery and @Dwight Ward. If you contracted Hep A from canned goods, they were not properly processed at all. You may have contracted any number of diseases. We are only 2 now, but we were once 8 in this household, and we still can much of our own produce for taste, quality, and safety. Wife is ding sweet relish as I write here, and dills are in the making form our many cucumbers. Not enough of anything else yet, but fish is available. Tomatoes and beans will be coming, as well as raspberries for jam, jelly, and other things. We also freeze a good deal of stuff like broccoli and cauliflower, peppers, and peas.
