I get weak legs from: chemical sensitivities going off prednisone

HERE IS WHERE THE PROBLEM WITH OUR FOOD IS: "Tuna, like other meats, must by USDA law list any grain added." USDA does nothing to preserve the good quality and taste of foods anymore. I have given up tuna and poultry completely because of the added solutions.
