What do you think of this??

Quote: Well, you are right there is no "sure" way to know without "lab testing". I, for one, however think that the natural way is obviously going to be the healthier way.I think it definitely makes a difference if you do things the way they were intended to be done, and that does not include commercially grown no matter how "well" it is done. Just my .02

that may be..but at least i was there through out the entire process and i know what went in them and what conditions they were raised in...do you work for a commercial farm,you sure sounded offended...so like i said"better to grow your own"!!!!!

I am not at all offended. I have worked on commercial farms though. I was employed as a milker on a cow dairy, and I had my own commercial goat dairy for many years. My point is simply this. Without testing you really do not know if your home grown products are free from salmonella or e coli or anything else or whether they have fewer pathogens than what you get at the store. You can assume your home grown products are clean and safe. I did and do. For instance, I never pasteurized the milk I brought home from the cow dairy or the milk from my goats before using it. But without testing you really don't know. And in reality, testing home produced products won't do you all that much good. It will only tell you about that one sample that was tested.
