We have yet another in a long line of recalls, this one strikes fear in the coops of America; the innocent little egg. Well, maybe not so innocent since the Wright County Egg Company, just recalled 228 million eggs because of reports of salmonella outbreaks out on the west coast. Don’t get too comfy east coasters, they distributes to wholesalers and are sold all over the country.
I am beginning to get a bit jaded and wonder if this constant stream of recalls isn’t just about keeping us distracted from our hell in a hand basket itinerary courtesy of the fine folk who brought you the trillion dollar shell game (is that how the eggs got tainted?-sorry).
I decided to take a peak and see how the recall game is going, so I logged onto the FDA’s website to see if they had a list of recently recalled stuff. It was too funny to be true:
August 18, 2010 - Glow Industries, Inc. Issues Nationwide Recall of Mr. Magic Male Enhancer from Don Wands Amended
Yes , the fine people of Don Wands voluntarily recalled their product after being informed that the stuff they are selling, a combo of two main ingredients for E.D. prescriptions. Together, however they constitute a new drug and therefore are entering an unexplored world of , uh, enhancement.
August 3, 2010 – Merrick Pet Care, Inc. of Amarillo, Texas is … recall(ing) .. 10 oz "Beef Filet Squares for Dogs …because they have the potential to be contaminated with Salmonella. Salmonella can affect animals and there is risk to humans from handling contaminated pet products.
Can’t we also get salmonella from handling raw chicken? I feed my dog raw chicken, by the way, as advised by my dog’s veterinarian. When I questioned him, he asked me, “Ever see an animal in the wild with a crock pot?”
Hey I am happy there are watch dogs keeping us safe, I just wonder if those dogs may be infected with mad cow disease from eating from the government’s raw, poorly handled information
