From time to time I've been a bit suspicious of supermarket food and whether they store things properly. I have noticed that I've never had adverse reactions after eating M&S or Waitrose food, whereas I have had adverse reactions from food from some other supermarkets. There's a programme on tonight which sounds like it might have the answer:

No Nightbird: contrary to what "common sense" would expect, the genetic link is MUCH MUCH stronger in what is currently labelled "type 2" diabetes! (Of course, I should modify that statement to say the "likelihood of contracting" -- but it's still the opposite of what "common sense" would expect!) |

Certainly the chances of suffering strokes /heart attacks are much greater in diabetics. But look at this another way... many folks diagnosed with Type 2 are given `an offer they can`t refuse`, to completely change the way they eat, and those who do this successfully may well be lengthening their lives. Yes it does limit the individuals` choices, but eating loads of salty, sugary, fatty or stodgy food isn`t particularly enhancing quality of life, is it? |

Dangerous business being alive and having to eat, if you survive food poisoning you'll most likely be over weight and die anyway from a heart attack or diabetes.... 
Not meaning to "start up something" by a too literal reading of your sensible comment, Nightbird .... but people don't "die of diabetes" although the consequences of the condition and/or the medication/treatment used CAN facilitate a fatality. Two-thirds of diabetics currently 'snuff it' from heart attack/stroke. |

LTNS, having fully matured before any thing was "organic"
I still find that my own sense of sight smell and taste are very reliable
when choosing food.
Meat in the supermarket is normally wrapped and coloured by lights robbing me of all
of the above senses. |

Its a bit more expensive but I am buying meat from the local butcher
who swears that all his meat is local.
Also vegetables at the local greengrocer, again more expensive, but local.
Better to eat less of what is good than more of who knows what or where it came from.
I am also suspicious of the marketing of so called organic foods. |

Ian, Waitrose were convicted of reselling out of date food in East Sussex in recent years. Western Road branch also had a very cavalier attitude to disability access at the front of the shop until recent years stating wheelchair bound people should enter the shop at the back instead. I've not shopped there since. And I wont be using those deli counters either in Tesco and Sainsbury's. |

Tonight's TV programme was one of the 'really' best. Hope it gets replayed on other chanels. As a regular Tesco shopper, and, I kid myself, I thought aware of the world out there, I was horrified by what I saw ... and yet, much of it confirmed what I'd often noticed , but not !00% registered 'consciously' .... |

After watching tonights programme we can see how Tesco and Sainsbury's made bumper profits.

He is writing to the Food Standards Agency (FSA) to advise them to issue national guidance on the storage and handling of lettuce, particularly in fast food outlets, where the North East Lincolnshire cases all started.
"We would not want people to stop eating lettuce at home," he said.
"The problem seems to occur in certain fast food outlets where lettuce is left lying around on display in high temperatures.
"We now believe there may be some multiplication of the bacteria in that environment."

This is Whistleblower Docu is at 9PM BBC1 UK
The BBC say following Tip-offs
they sent Covert Reporters with cameras
to grass up on Tesco and Sainsburys.
The Whole point of the Deli is it looks good
so they are taking of any mould all the time.
