The other aspect you talked about was educating consumers. We've heard from numerous witnesses about whether, at the end of the cycle, just before the fork, if you will, consumers are actually participating in the food system in a safe way. As well, there was the question of who contaminates food more--the consumer at the end or some folks in between. I think that's a debate for another day, but I do see that your recommendation number 8 talks about proactive concern and targeting the education: “Special attention should be paid to high risk groups such as the elderly, the immunocompromised and pregnant women.”
Now, when you say that you pay attention to those three groups, are you talking about processed meats, such as what we saw with listeriosis? Is that the inference that I'm taking? Or are you talking about those three groups as being targeted groups that we should always be looking at? Because, indeed, at those stages in their life and the things that are affecting them at that moment in time, they may be subject to things that others of us are not. For instance, you and I aren't going to be pregnant; therefore, we're not going to have to think about what we eat or consume or what we are around.
