My Week Without Corn, Part II: The No Corn-Fed Animal Products Edition
Thank you for writing these columns! You have just inadvertently described the life of the food allergic, only the result of accidental consumption (or even cross contamination) can result in anaphylactic shock, possibly death.
If that sounds extreme, please imagine raising a child who is allergic to four of the the eight most common food allergens (peanut, shellfish, egg, milk) plus two others (beef and lamb.) We can't even walk into Chuck E. Cheese, which I don't miss, but my son sure does.
We have a label reading, EpiPen carrying lifestyle. For me cooking is no longer a hobby or a chore, but an avocation, since the only safe food is usually what I've prepared myself.
On the bright side, my son has a healthy diet, and walks right past displays of candy at check out lines, since he cannot eat any of it. He loves to cook and bake, and no child was ever prouder than he is when he makes "his" biscuits.

Grass fed pigs not a bad idea. In fact, some of the best pigs are raised eating grass, roots, acorns and roots. Ham from these pigs is delicious: one can taste the acorn. Did not eat the sausage from these pigs, but it exists.
If some meat guys don't know what I am talking about, Google Jamón ibérico, Iberian ham, also called pata negra. Or, simply Google Spanish Black Pig.
It is so good, someone stole, took, the 50 Euro black ham, (authorized and sealed for international travel), from me when returning from Spain.

Carey you are one brave soul! Great read.

Thank you for your column, this and your Part I were great reads and you should be commended for doing this.
@ jfitz: Neither grass-fed nor organic are mere marketing ploys, and it is that kind of dismissive attitude that makes those concepts seem like fads that the wealthy got duped into. That, of course, makes the average American feel like this isn't something they should know or care about, when in fact we all should. Please read more about food and its history before making such baseless statements.

After seeing Food, Inc. I've been more active in seeking out grass fed meat but what I didn't think about is milk, eggs, etc. Posts like this help to raise awareness, so thanks for your efforts and writing about your experience. Would you consider trying soy next?

LOL Perky! Then again, if that's the case, exactly how little is FFC....?
With regards to that subliminal thing, I believe the Mythbusters officially busted that one. But hey, if advertisers want to spend their money that way, more power to them.

Yeah it's called "Subliminal stimulation" read all about it in books like "The Clam plate orgy"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wilson_Bryan_Key
Basically there's loads of it's "Rampant in advertising" all the way to the other end of "You're crazy and seeing things.

This reminds me of the whole Camels packaging rumor, that there was a phallic symbol in the leg, and the rumor that Ritz had subliminally written 'sex' on a cracker on the box.
So you're supposed to look at this packaging, subliminally see happy people, and feel compelled to buy it? Well, all righty then.

As a graphic designer and big-time foodie I think this story is the most amazingly awesome thing to be picked up in a long time. I hope they don't disappear in the next round of package printing.
Hip-Hip-Hooray designers at Cascadian Farm!
