Even in the U.S. – birthplace of barcodes – unprocessed, unadulterated and barcode-free food can be found, like in this lovely and busy organic farm and market in downtown Fort Lauderdale. We particularly enjoyed some of their raw milk products, but were struck by the labelling. Check it out below by clicking on the photos to enlarge.
In order to circumnavigate perverted food laws concerning unpasteurised milk, producers in Florida have to resort to this type of tactics in order to legally sell their produce and to satisfy growing customer pet demand. In Canada, raw milk is labelled as body lotion and unpasteurised cheese cultures as body cream.
So the few locally and sustainably produced, unprocessed, unadulterated, organic and barcode-free real food products available in North America have to find legal loopholes and to hide underground as pet food or cosmetics. Let’s hope Europe is not heading in the same direction.
