Is the milk in Uruguay pasteurized? Is raw milk available as an option?
Are all the different types of livestock for food treated with hormones and antibiotics? If so, is organic meat reasonably priced? How much would a one pound organic steak cost in a store or market?
I read some where that the municipal water is fluoridated. What a shame.
Real sea salt is essential. The news indicates that salt is not to be served in restaurants?
Are uruguays fooled into consuming low fat foods?
Are GMO crops prevalent there? Are the packages labeled?
Do the fields get sprayed with herbicides there, or is more like the way the Amish do it... By weeding?
Is all the bread and pasta bleached and "enriched" with bromine, niacin and iron?
Do people recycle?
Is seed saving outlawed like in the u.s.?
I know a tetnus shot is required to enter Uruguay and I recall someone saying to have it done in the u.s. Why? Any other opinions on this?
Are people on the street upset about this Philip Morris law suit against Uruguay regarding the labeling of cigarettes as being harmful?
Are their restrictions on one trying to purchase or import vitamins? If a friend in the states wanted to mail me an unmarked box containing vitamins and supplements via ups, would they open it and inspect everything in customs? What would be the result?
Would the fresh and clean foods I seek be more available in Brazil? Is bringing food over the boarder from Brazil any kind of issue?
i think these are all important questions and I sincerely appreciate anyone willing to take their time to answer one or more of them.
I hope this post doesn't come off as snobbish. After loosing my dad to cancer, I have become very food conscious and grow much of my own food for safety reasons.
Thanks again,
W.
