We are soooooo sick of recalls 
Saturday, September 29th, 2007

I could not be sicker of recalls.  The only recalls I want to hear about any more are the few people that I'd really like God to recall.  Okay, so 21.7 million pounds of meat (ground beef products) has been recalled by Topps Meat Co. in the U.S...blah, blah, blah, fear-monger, fear-monger, fear-monger.  EVERYBODY PANIC.  It is one of the largest meat recalls in U.S. history, says CNN.  The U.S. Department of Agriculture gives the purpose as 25 illnesses are "under investigation" in Connecticut, Florida, Indiana, Maine, New Jersey, New York, Ohio and Pennsylvania.  Nothing concrete, as usual.

In a statement, Topps VP of Operations, Geoffrey Livermore, said this is the company's first recall in its 65 years of business.  I didn't know Topps was even still around - they packed their bags and moved out of Ohio when Giant Eagle started giving Fuel Perks discounts at the gas pump.  Speaking of Giant Eagle, I went there today to fill a prescription, and you know what they had on the Pharmacy drive through window?  A giant halloween window sticker.  Of the grim reaper.  Isn't that a little odd to be putting on the window of a pharmacy?

So, yeah, if you're the paranoid type, and you buy into this crap, here's the info on the E.coli "scare."  You can return your meat to Topps for a full refund.  Or you could give it to the homeless, because they sort of know to be thankful for any food at all.
