Why can't the corporations keep Sh$% off the food they process?? Haven't they trained their illegal alien workers properly?? Where's the quality you expect for just over minimum wage employment?? Ever see the inside of a corporate poultry complex???

Oh , on cooking..... Turkey when overcooked is tasteless shoe leather. Even at it's best , it needs lots of seasoning to be actually good to eat. At least with pork you have some fat to tenderize and flavor.

People need to cook their turkey. I GUARANTEE you that I ate ground turkey from the affected lots (my wife's always "turkeyburgers AGAIN?!?" and we had to return frozen turkey from the affected lots). No sickness. I cooked my turkey properly.

Now ... do you need to season ground turkey? Yes. Man ... add some sun dried tomatoes, roasted red pepper, carmelized onion, a little Chef Zachary's blackening seasoning ... DIRECTLY to the meat. Mix well. Grill to proper temp. AMAZING.

If you sell raw milk to your neighbor and do not have a permit you will get arrested have your PC and milking equipment confiscated and they will throw out all your food. But if you are Cargill and you kill, you will get bad press and your food will still be on the shelves for working stiffs to feed to the kids for dinner. All brought to you by the government stiff you elected. we have to make a change, vote constitutionally!

"Why can't people cook their turkey?" Well, why can't Big Corporate Business spend money on CLEANING the machinery? Oh, right, when the plant shuts down for cleaning, it's "wasted money" -- and them CEOs gotta have their multi-million-dollar bonuses!

Whats wrong with Turkey Tar Tar, it can only kill you?

The increase of many formerly eradicated diseases, as well as the increase in foodborne pathogens have EVERYTHING to do with the increase in illegals as well as other immigrants. Especially with the illegals, as proper health screening is certainly not on their to-do list.
Rock bottom paid illegals/foreigners do not need to have the same standards as most of us who grew up with good standards all around us. Their employers who pay their low wages also don't care.
As an RN, I have been seeing this trend increase severely in proportion to our poor illegal population controls as well as in not fixing the immigration quota back to the 1980's. This has been several Presidents' fault, but the promotion of illegals and amnesty PRESENTLY belongs to one Barack Obama. He's also the President in power during our worst economy and highest unemployment in many years. I have NEVER seen so many foreigners working while so many LEGAL Americans are out of work, because so many of them work for peanuts!
Poor quality workers lead to expensive consequences in spreading dangerous illnesses! No surprise there.

people are retarded

agreed with nonfollower...you all screaming about "cleaning equipment" and "corporations keeping **** out of the food they process" and "illegals"...do you realize that all raw meat, no matter how it is processed, no matter how many machines it passes through, no matter whose handling it, INHERENTLY is contaminated with bacteria? Poultry is wrought with salmonella. Pork can give you trichinosis. We humans are COVERED in bacteria - inside and out. These bacteria and parasites live in the muscle tissue of animals. Even the most "organic" raised animal prepared in the most sterile environment will contain bacteria.

Get a clue, read a microbiology book, and stop screaming about corporate this and that. Just cook your food and wash your hands after handling raw meat - any raw meat - regardless of the source.

(I just voted for your comment in error).
I have a BS in Microbiology. All that has to be done is for any infected person to handle certain foods... without washing their hands..and touch the food without gloves. It happened recently in a fast food place near here, which employs mostly foreigners.
Again, I repeat. The medical Community is aware that there has been a major increase in foodborne pathogens... causing more food poisoning outbreaks and not just Salmonella.
I also "threw in" the return of many once eradicated illnesses, ie TB...just to help share this with the public, as part of my training is to be a public educator.

Look up the "recent spread of foodbourne pathogens", (or a term like it).

Ignorance is spread so much by would-be cyber pseudo-geniouses like you.!!!!

". It happened recently in a fast food place near here, which employs mostly foreigners."

Ummm.....what do "foreigners" have to do with any contamination of food products?

Try to keep up with me here. If the food served at your local fast food place was contaminated, wouldn't that be an indication that management is lax, or not following proper procedures?

Maybe an education in critical thinking skills would have helped that B.S. in overt racism you've acquired.

I was referring to the statistics of the increase in diseases since the explosion of foreigners here, especially in the cities. Everyone at that food restaurant was foreign, as well as the manager. Someone did not wash their hands prior to serving. Different cultures have different hygiene standards, and our stats are prooving many communicable ilnesses are increasing, as well as coming back from extinction.
No need to split hairs here. Look it up for yourself.

I hope they DO finally go after the irresponsible parties involved. Too many executives get off scott free. They should be responsible for what happens on their watch.

What about all the resturaunt manager's that threaten to fire you if you stay home sick asian bird flu anyone order a pizza we'll be right out there!!!BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!!!!!!

The only "ideology" in Washington is "Money talks and bull$hit walks." The rest is just talking points to buy votes.

The thing about ideology is it is usually enforced through pain i.e. Every military power that has ever been on the planet and religion for that matter I will cite the inquisition on that one let's not forget slavery. Funny how the word money is missing it's "k" you know MON K EY ..

Monsanto's has the tea baggers in their pocket you need to wise up or they will kill you for $ FIND THE TRUTH watch FOOD INC. whois head of the FDA and USDA and who did they work for before they got their positions you havn't a clue where your food has been GET SMART WATCH FOOD INC. then tell me how you feel about your precious money horder's i mean GOP!!!!!!! Don't reply til you watch FOOD INC. You have no frame of reference to fight with and it would be unfair for me to fight with an uninformed unarmed person in a battle of the WIT"S

"Doc, I got sick when I ate this..."

"How many times did you eat that?"

"Three days strait."

"Why didn't you stop after the first time???"

Because i did not realize this was making me sick i thought it was just retarded people like REBECCA-302136!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! you need to stick to the reason not the affect because maybe you get sick tomorow from some other food and die your bad you need a spankin in the face with i don't know a dead turkey or something moron don't make fun of sick people order a pizza tomorow i'll make extra special for you

Forget the glass of toilet water. How about someone bottle SEWAGE water and tell folks it's "safe" because "it's been thoroughly boiled".......

How about everything that you ingest has come into contact with (OMG!!!) everything unsanitary under the sun!!!! Name one item is impervious to being contaminated in some form or fashion. Vegetables are grown in dirt, and many times some sort of fertilizer (including animal feces) and hand-picked by those with dirty hands. All meats must be derived from dead animals, some only days after death, most after weeks, and even months. Until you have harvested farm products (vegetable or animal), then you have no idea what the process consists of in detail. Any of you that can consistently deliver a safer product that is produced for millions of people can and should step up to the plate!

Drill your own well - grow your own food - cook your own meals from scratch. No one is safe. I am not in any way saying that this food poisoning outbreak doesn't have responsible people to hold for it (since someone allowed for this), but rather, it can happen as easily to a mom-and-pop biz, and even to a family. Let me say this again - NO ONE IS SAFE. But there are measures all can take to cut down the risks. No one should eat an item from any source without cleaning it. No one should eat undercooked food from any source. No one should assume that 'mom's cooking' is 100% safe. Does anyone here understand the reason for prayers before eating? It all was a consequence from so many dying from ill-prepared foods!!! But on the other hand, how many that got sick from this food actually prayed before consumption? Not that it would have mattered, just tracking a trend.

And did you know that most resturaunt employee's are made to work sick if they can't find someone to cover their shift.So we go to work with runny noses and coughing diarea and so forth.I have been told i would be fired if i didn't come to work.How much of that human stuff you know mucus feces etc. do you think you eat every year because people are afraid to get fired.. It is impossible to wash your hands every time you touch anything.I predict ground zero for the fall of humanity will begin in a resturaunt from someone who has exotic or otherwise unknown illness so eat that AMERICA!!!!!

um, the glass of water you were holding was once toilet water that was treated. what's your point? everything on the planet is dirty, covered in bacteria, including us. that's why we invented septic systems and man invented fire to cook things!

Monsanto's is making your veggie's unsafe too WATCH FOOD INC.

The industry keeps fighting all attempts to limit the use of antibiotics in animal feed. Animals are fed antibiotics even when they are not sick just to increase their rate of weight gain. The savings to the producer is small. Decades of antibiotics in feed have produced antibiotic resistant bacteria thought natural selection. The food industry lobby is as powerful as any in DC.

your a moron WATCH FOOD INC. cargill is a big joke when it comes to safety for that matter so is every eatery in this country I should know i have worked for them you have no clue where your food comes from or whats been done to it. Read about Monsanto's or just Watch FOOD INC. would you eat meat that has been soaked in ammonia because that is how they "sterilize" your meat you need to wise up or you will eat yourself to death before your time!!!! GO ORGANIC PEOPLE genetically modified food is bad for you.Go ahead and read about it then come fire back with some more corporate circle talk..AND I WILL PROVE YOU ARE WRONG AND CARGILL AND MONSANTO"S ARE KILLING YOUR PLANET AND YOUR CHILDREN or are you already sterile from the beef growth hormones and modified corn that produces toxic protiens as a CHEMICAL DEFENSE AGAINST BUGS. Would you eat RAID? MONSANTO"S IS A CHEMICAL COMPANY THAT ENGINEERS FOOD.......A CHEMICAL COMPANY THAT OWNS CARGILL so eat up buddy guess when you all die from chemical corrosion of you insides then the rest of us can rebuild the planet did you know none of the politicians eat modified food wonder why not even the ones that worked for MONSANTO"S such as the head of the FDA wow thats gotta get you thinking..~!!i would hope ALSO i notice you said none of us followed the story no because i'm tired of the story telling I follow the truth and nothing else that's why i'm the non-follower!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

nonfollower

When addressing those who lack the desire for using critical thinking skills, it's best to stick to the three word formula used to great effect by conservative "our family values" politicians .

Keep it simple. Use hot-button phrases like "Our founding fathers", and "They took our jobs!!", or "Secure the border!".

Unfortunately, that leaves you few options to discuss today's news events, so I tend to leave certain Newsviners to their ignorance. They seem at home there.

NICE a brain not many around I haven't gone completely meat free yet but am headed that way I love fish!!!! and shrimp!!!! You can still get sick from some fuits and veggie's though overall i recommend avoiding anything that's not organic or not grass fed and cage free Am a big eater of wild game meat which seems to have no problem's or at least not many problem's with human illness Any way yes i agree ALSO no GMO's genetic's in food thats bad

the HEAD or the FDA was a former MONSANTO'S CEO or LAWYER so do you think they are going to regulate their brother's

SWEEET!!!! However it does not matter if the employee's are illegal white black or purple WE HATE YOU especially on christmas so be sure to order pizza on christmas so we can give you your little gift folks HOW WAS OUR SERVICE!!!! AS i said before i have 25 years in the biz...

Cargill and it's big brother Monsanto's have the FDA and USDA in their pocket and will never pay for their crime's Don't believe me find out who the head of the FDA and the head of USDA worked for before they became the heads of their respective position's I think you will be as terrified and as enraged as I am by these corporation's and the government

You guys are just a bunch of socialists.

Wake up America? When are we going to stop the regulations?

And that reminds me, all those stupid flouridation rules...

Them rad-symp libs get upset just because someone bought food advertised as fresh and are now dead.

Why should anyone be upset? It's the free market!!
