What are the chances of local agricultural commerce becoming routine for the American consumer base?<BR/><BR/>I also wonder if the recalls have increased in frequency and whether anyone has correlated them to the mixing that Mr. Golob points out.thomas robeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10507272466209300062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27601830.post-33043037273443029552007-02-17T21:40:00.000-08:002007-02-17T21:40:00.000-08:00Is it unusual to have this number of food-recalls ...Is it unusual to have this number of food-recalls in a given time period?
