And no, this isn't connected to the massive recall announced recently by United Food Group. This is a whole new possible E. coli contamination. Weeeeeeeee!
Tyson Fresh Meats has recalled 40,000 pounds of ground beef that was shipped to Wal-Mart stores in 12 states. The states include Alabama, Arkansas, Colorado, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Tennessee and Texas. There have been no reports of illness, but test results came back positive.
This is happening so much now that I should probably put this under our "Trend" category.

Every recall you see is proof that the system is working. True, you'd like to catch every problem at the factory/farm but the volume of products moved makes that a pipe dream.

So, when a contaminated American products gets through inspection, reaches the market and is recalled it's the system working, but when a contaminated Chinese product gets through inspection, reaches the market and is recalled it's because China is a evil, irresponsible country with no regard for human safety? You don't see a xenophobic double-standard here?

Richard Linklater took the information in the book and weaved it into a feature film focusing mainly on the immigration element. The film features big a actors like Greg Kinnear, Bruce Willis, Ethan Hawke, Luis Guzman, Patricia Arquette, Kris Kristofferson, and should be required watching for everyone eating fast food. Few people understand how a risk they are eating a simple hamburger and why we have outbreaks of E coli and hat is off to Richard Linklater for making this important film instead of Spiderman six.
