It's All About the Food

Man, computers can be a great thing at times and a pain other times. Lately mine has been a pain so let's actually get a post on here today.

It's Friday and I would hate you to miss out again today!

Crummy idea? Seniors fight doughnut ban

Elders win snack war started after nutritionists raise health concerns

CARMEL, N.Y. - Local officials are listening to their elders, and giving up at least part of a plan to ban doughnuts from senior citizens’ centers for health reasons.

Putnam County officials had proposed prohibiting free, day-old doughnuts from the county’s five senior centers, which serve about 1,000 lunches each day.

Nutritionists questioned whether the doughnuts were suitable snacks for people over 65.

Seniors rebelled, saying they’re mature enough to decide what they eat. Some 250 people signed a petition blasting the proposal as a crummy idea.

You gotta love it. These seniors survived lead paint, drinking out of a hose and fried foods.

Now some bleeding-heart nutritionists think free doughnuts are not suitable snacks for people over 65.

I think at 65 you should be able to eat what you want!!!




Heads up salad lovers

Product may be tainted with shigella, which causes nausea, fever and more

An undisclosed amount of carrots that may be contaminated with bacteria could cause diarrhea, nausea, fever and vomiting.

The Los Angeles Salad Co. said it was voluntarily recalling its “Genuine Sweet Baby Carrots” because the carrots might be contaminated with the bacteria called shigella.

The product was sold under two labels. One is “Los Angeles Salad Genuine Sweet Baby Carrots” with a sell-by date up to and including Aug. 16, 2007, sold in 7-ounce and 8-ounce bags and distributed in California, Colorado, Florida and Georgia.

The other is “Trader Joe’s Genuine Sweet Baby Carrots” with a sell-by date up to and including Aug. 8, 2007, sold in 7-ounce bags and distributed in Arizona, California, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon and Washington.

Consumers with questions can call the company at 1-626-322-9017.

Is anyone watching out for what we eat?

Does the Food and Drug Administration even exist anymore?

Shouldn't Homeland Security be watching as well as it seems China is trying to kill us with their food products.

Maybe the nutritionists worried about doughnuts the seniors are eating ought to be more concerned about the contaminated food we are all eating.



That's my blast for today. Let's hope my computer stops being finicky so I can get more news you can use on here.
