FOOD SAFETY

[Makini]

We look at two stories on food safety. The FDA has
issued one of the largest food recalls in history after eight people died of salmonella poisoning. A Georgia peanut plant knowingly shipped products contaminated with salmonella on a dozen occasions over the past two years. And a pair of new studies has revealed traces of toxic mercury can be found in many popular food items containing high-fructose corn syrup. The sweetener has become a widely used substitute for sugar in processed foods, including many items marketed toward children. [includes rush transcript]

I absolutely believe that because 9 times out of 10, I would guarantee that most of that is concentrated in Black/Brown neighborhoods. I'm going to post something. Listen all the way and then comment. this is important

Crazy. Maybe they should start having anyone who is eating fast food sign a health waiver when they walk through the door because there is clearly nothing healthy about it. In my NYC neighborhood there is a McDonalds on one corner, a KFC on the other and a Subway a block away. Ha. And this doesn't even take into consideration the local fast food joints. You can practically see the disease issuing out of people eyes and mouths. People continue to buy it no matter the information that is out there because it's easy to access and inexpensive. Talk about population control.

I hear ya man, but ultimately it's about choice especially if you have someone trying to "wake you up".

If you eat s^@t then don't complain about the taste.

And let me tell you bro that is exactly what a lot of these fast food joints are selling...s^@t. I used to work in a slaughter house when I was a junior in high school and trust if you want scare mugh into being vegan or vegetarian that's the place to send them to work if only for a minute. It'll turn even the strongest stomach away from packaged meat for a long while.

I hear ya man. look, I'm not going to claim I'm a vegetarian but I gonna have to start raising chickens or something. The thing I can't understand for the life of me is even if you're the dumbest person on the planet base common sense states that if you can't grow it then you will die. Just like us, women and men are being genetically engineered to not produce children with this food and our people tend to be the first on the list.

I spent 8 friggin years in the Marine Corps and I've done some things but nothing can top this. WTF
