Just thank your lucky stars the US bans unpasteurized cheese. It kills hundreds of thousands of people every year here in France. People keel over at the cheeseboard, writhing on the ground. It's a national scandal. Tragically, the taste of unpasteurized cheese is so good, people can't resist it, like Japanese connoisseurs eating deadly puffer fish.
And don't get me started on Italian raw bacon—hundreds of thousands more casualties...KIDDING

Believe me when I say, my wife and I live by this as both of us are over 70 but fit and healthy with zero prescriptions. We grow a lot of our veggies in the back as well as the front yard. Our one weakness: Indian food on Sundays, but hey Thomas, we get the relative discount of 50% off (we've known the owners for years and they are very good friends of ours). One more thing: Ain't it grand to be an American?
Most people in the US don't seem to care at all about food quality, only price. They are getting what they pay for. As you get older you start to realize that quality food is one of the best investments you can make in your own health.
My wife and I live that very investment of which you speak. Both of us are over 70, healthy, strong, fit and ready to remain active the rest of our lives.

powerful.
and of course it isn't news, but what is not is not new news can sometimes drive a stake and the heart of our inattention to the news of yesterday.
Such have you done here.
Thanks, Ken. Stake spoken here. :)

It is indeed grand to be an American. (Are they still listening...?)
Hardly! Just growing heavier and sicklier, it's sad to watch.
