I can't believe you got a giggle out of me after all that.

no, not that we can't be safe from all hazards, but that we're really

we've all heard about SPORADIC outbreaks of e-coli, salmonella, etc
etc.... and seen videos of horrible things happening at
slaughterhouses, but could talk ourselves out of worrying too much
because they WERE hit-and-miss.
think about what this would be like on a human scale if ONE company
was responsible for processing the same percentage of human food as it
turns out menu foods seems to be with pet food.... and with the trend
to multi-national corporations, factory farms rather than smaller,
individually managed (and maintained) ones, that might be where our
own food supply is heading.
i think this could be the wake-up call we have been not wanting to
hear. sadly, maybe we'll listen more clearly cuz it's our critters....
i guess i'm saying that i'm not really surprised, because too many bad
things have been allowed to go on for a long time, in the name of
"progress," and "corporate ethics." and not enough people have stood
up and said, "NO, this is NOT acceptable."
oh, heck, i have to have a POINT? damn. that may change my whole
outlook on life.
