MJ's little flock

This made tear up a little Bob.

I know I admire Shad and value his opinion too.


(Even if I find him a trifle scary at times. )

That's why Spain didn't enter WW2 (The whole world is afraid of them)

Like I said, i think he's being professional and abiding by regulations that aim to protect the health of every Australian.

Such regs might not be a great fit for specific cases, byt violations of food production regs carry fines.

I knew a sheep farmer who raised lamb. He had to feed hay that had been certified for the human food chain (this might have something to do with herbicides, insecticides and fertilisers - surely not antibiotics). Some growers produce hay for horses and don't know anything about certification for the human food production and buying the right hay was a big deal for the lamb farmer.

I'm not taking a stand on whether that's right or wrong, merely describing the regulatory context, which aims to protect vulnerable Australians as well as those in rude health.

Exactly. Rather than deal with nuance, food regulations are written for absolute compliance. If you consider how people would try to bend or cheat any rules with wriggle room, I can understand it in a way.

Every Australian is in danger Down Under. (Remember Drop Bears?) !

I had to think of something quick. The thread was getting too serious!

I deserve that. I would love to meet him though. He is one handsome fellow.

Exactly! You are likely not allowed to sell or provide eggs (or meat) from chickens that have received antibiotics, ever. This would be a food guidelines not a veterinary one. I believe the same is true in the United States. It's "popular science".

So to be more charitable to Dr. Mark, not a hole in his knowledge.

Phyllis made you say that, didn't she?

Indeed. Great minds. I just took a while to get there.

Sorry if I overran your thread there.

He is a little intimidating.

But it's good for my resilience to encounter intimidaring people, so ultimately I'm thankful
