Even if you don’t just “buy locally”, you should at least “buy American”...
Up until recently, you never much heard of salmonella outbreaks other than chicken, eggs, and reptiles...
Now, you hear of it from tomatoes, broccolli, lettuce, asparagus, avacodoes, jalapenos...Mostly stuff that’s IMPORTED...probably fertilized with human “fertilizer”.
(One reason I haven’t eaten rice since 1968 when I wallowed through rice paddies in a far-off land and saw close-up what it was grown in)
Texmati rice is grown in Texas. Lots of rice is grown in the U.S. We don’t have to import rice, so relax!
Thank you for wallowing over there. I’m glad you got home.
