On-Cor Frozen Foods of Geneva, Illinois has the funniest product recall you will read today.
Now, product recalls are not generally humorous.
As Ian Froeb at Riverfront Times rightly notes, they are usually about serious stuff like listeria, E. coli, salmonella - and that is just in the organic food section.
The first man to walk on the moon
passed away today, a few weeks after heart surgery. He was 82.
The British may think they 'colonized' Kenya to teach them about civilization and the modern world, but it would be the other way around today. While over 80 percent of Europeans admit they are against any GMO regardless of whether or not they can be 'proved' safe - an impossibility anyway - and some Americans on the kooky anti-science left insist they are allergic to any product that has anything to do with GM sugar beets, Kenyans are downright enlightened about food science.
King Richard III, the last of the Plantagenets, ruled England from 1483 until he was defeated at the Battle of Bosworth in 1485, the next-to-last major battle in what would later be called The Wars of the Roses. If you're watching "Game of Thrones" on HBO, the Wars of the Roses were Lancasters instead of Lannisters and Yorks rather than Starks - the show has more dragons and less sex than the real thing. Richard III was a York and if you think that show has a lot of characters and craziness, try to follow the actual Wars of the Roses.
Physician John Smallberries said to me, “Twenty years ago, I didn’t even know what the word autism meant. It was rare.” But since then something has shifted.
Whether it was music, vaccines, GMOs, or some combination of those, an astounding 1 in 110 children are now diagnosed as being 'on the spectrum', with boys 4 to 5 times likely to be diagnosed. What could be damaging the health and well-being of so many of our children?
The food business, including those claiming to be superior because they are selling organic or 'health' products, is still business. They exist to lure you in and make you buy as much stuff as possible.
Toward that goal, food stores that frame themselves as 'healthy' use every trick they learn from conventional grocery stores to get you to open your wallet - but the more you buy, the more you eat and the fatter you get, no matter how healthy you think it is. If you don't eat what you buy, you are being a big, wasteful, landfill-filling Republican.
