    Default now it's olives being recalled?

    The Food and Drug Administration issued an alert Friday warning consumers that some canned and jarred imported olives may be contaminated with the bacteria that causes botulism, a potentially deadly illness.

    I think I'm ready to start raising chickens and growing vegetables in my apartment like they do in China. Who's with me?

    You know When I was over seas. THe United Staes was been warm about a terrorist attack, on out food supply and our water supply. Now all of a sudden we have differant food products being poisen at anytime. To me I know they do not want to get america in an up roar. Yet they should let them know what is going on. They are making the same mistake they did with 9/11

    Read the book Fast Food Nation if you don't understand WHY this is happening.

    You know, I was totally thinking that when this started out, but no one had mentioned it (in the news, as far as I know) and so I kinda dropped it. Gawd, let's hope there won't be anthrax in our french fries ..

    I just looked it up, and ordered it from Amazon.com...

    Not the last part, I figured that to be sarcastic, but the theory that everything is being poisoned to kill Americans because of terrorists. I mean, really... if that's all it took, the rest of the world would have done that LONG ago.

    Yep, the book deals with fast food but it's the same principles at work here. Our "food" is being manufactured and processed in gigantic factories owned by conglomerates like Con-Agra, and their primary concern is the bottom line. These factories are staffed with disposable illegal aliens working for pennies on the minimum-wage dollar, who suffer injury and abuse on the job at shocking rates, and who are not taught a damn thing about hygiene; in fact, they are discouraged from hygienic practices if they slow production. It's not fresh-picked produce that's the problem here. It's bagged, processed spinach, and processed peanut butter, and processed olives... these factories are simply sacrificing quality and safety for higher output and profits.

    And they pay off the FDA to let them do it. Don't ever think that the FDA (or any government agency) has your safety in mind.

    IDK like I said, that was just a thought that came to mind once. I agree with you, it would have happened before now. I'm sure these are coincidences, my imagination is pretty wild.

    No the terrorist is not that smart. This is why they are putting e coli in the healthy food.
