Tracing food is a dandy idea but this makes the usual blockchain<br>
enthusiast error of assuming that if it's on the blockchain it must be<br>
true. Tagging the food and accurately identifying what each tag is<br>
attached to is the hard part, not sticking the tag IDs in a database.<br>
<br>
All the tags in the world won't help if a sleazy packer can just<br>
put a tag for a clean field on produce from a dirty field.<br>
