Our Food is Full of Crap. Also, Rodent Hair, Mildew, and Bugs. - Boing Boing

In the wake of the peanut butter salmonella scare (caused by rats, roaches, and other awfulness inside the factory), an op-ed in today's New York Times examines the government's standards for acceptable levels of gross stuff in food. According to the writer, you likely ingest up to two pounds of "flies, maggots and mites" each year, without being aware.

Virgin: the world's best passenger complaint letter? - Telegraph


Dear Mr Branson



REF: Mumbai to Heathrow 7th December 2008



I love the Virgin brand, I really do which is why I continue to use it despite
a series of unfortunate incidents over the last few years. This latest
incident takes the biscuit.



Ironically, by the end of the flight I would have gladly paid over a thousand
rupees for a single biscuit following the culinary journey of hell I was
subjected to at thehands of your corporation.

I has a flava

Why McDonald's Fries Taste So Good

The flavor industry is highly secretive. Its leading companies will not divulge the precise formulas of flavor compounds or the identities of clients. The secrecy is deemed essential for protecting the reputations of beloved brands. The fast-food chains, understandably, would like the public to believe that the flavors of the food they sell somehow originate in their restaurant kitchens, not in distant factories run by other firms. A McDonald's french fry is one of countless foods whose flavor is just a component in a complex manufacturing process. The look and the taste of what we eat now are frequently deceiving -- by design.

NY Times Highlight Conservative Bungling

Impolitical: New York Times highlights Conservative bungling of the listeriosis outbreak
The editors of the medical journal and others have drawn a parallel between the Harper government’s handling of the listeriosis outbreak and an outbreak of tainted drinking water that killed seven people in Walkerton, Ontario, in 2000. The Conservative government that was in power in Ontario at that time could not overcome a widespread perception that its regulatory cutbacks led to the Walkerton deaths and it was defeated in a subsequent election.

Conservatives to continue to expose Canadians to fatal health risks

Une femme verte: Conservatives to kill meat inspection in Manitoba: Ag Union
The government of Stephen Harper has steadily cut funding for food safety programs and shifted responsibility for safety assurance to the food companies themselves.

Remember the lysteria outbreak already!? Many people died because of the Conservative government reducing on-site inspections. And they want to do it out West now too.

Another good reason to NOT vote Conservative - they will make it easier for you to get killed by un-safe food.
