But the USDA says it is safe...

I spent almost all my life thinking that the government had my best interest at heart when it came to food.  This is odd, because when it comes to taxes, representation and just about anything else the government does, I pretty much trust it about as far as I can throw it, and with my bad back I shouldn't be throwing anyone.

So i always thought the USDA had just teams of scientists and regulators that were making sure our food supply was AOK!!!

And through a lot of reading and watching that damn Netflix, I realize that they just do not give 2 shits.

Case in point.  Today Subway made an anouncement that they would stop, in the near future, but not right now, using Azodicarbonamide in their bread.  

Azodicarbonamide...doesn't that sound delicious?  It has always made my shoe rubber and yoga mats more palatable...Yoga mats and shoe rubber...wow.  But as long as it is used in moderation, the USDA says, hey, use it in bread.

Hey, if the United States of America says it is okay for me to eat, why would I disagree?

And when I was looking at the ingredients to my dinner tonight, I could not find Azodicarbonamide.  I found Roma Tomato, Onion, Salt, Pepper, Squash, Olive Oil, Pork Sausage.  Now the pork sausage had some crazy ingredients...

Still looking for the Azodicarbonamide that was not part of my shoe...
