Quality foods
Sir,—ln today’s health-con-scious world it is heartening to see the Meat Board aiming to develop a red meat that meets a standard acceptable to those who prefer foods that are “organically grown” and contain no toxic residues. Canterbury arable farmers are also entering the quality foods world by growing a couple of varieties of pinto bean that are not only fatter and more attractive than the imported type, but are more perfect in colour and form. At Riwaka green tea is being grown so that fastidious Japanese can have fresh tea in their off season. A South Island organics farmer cannot grow enough wheat to fill his orders. These are instances of farmers growing what people want, and if they could be multiplied enough we might be home and hosed as producers of quality foods in a clean environment. — Yours, etc., TED HICKS. August 28, 1986.
