Just When We Thought We Were Safe...

I know our assignment only had us do one article, but I plan on finding one article per day because let's face it, it's Kearney on a Saturday night and I don't feel like getting MIP'ed. Anyways, while looking at the website for the Omaha World Herald, the paper from my hometown, I came across this article about a nationwide recall of peanut butter products. Now I am a man who enjoys his food, with enjoy being an understatement. I always trusted the meals I was digesting to be safe and the one area in life I could be faithful in. Each day I read about e-coli this and salmonella that. Why is it that we can't go a decade, at the least, without recalling foods that make up a part of my daily diet? I feel really bad that the salmonella in the peanut butter has caused the death of 6 people, but what a way to go. One minute you're enjoying a PB & J sandwich and the next minute you're six feet under. There are fears that I have that I can overcome, such as heights and flying, but please, oh please don't add food to that list. Just make sure before you open up that next box of Peanut Butter Crunch or Ritz crackers, that you properly check your food. Lord knows we don't want our last meal to be a peanut butter cookie, that might have been mediocre at best...
