Laugh it up, veg-heads

We already know you’re better than us anyway. Now you can walk around proudly, all botulism free, while the rest of us go dizzy and become paralyzed:

A Georgia meat processor expanded its recall of canned meat products that may be connected to a botulism outbreak.

Castleberry’s Food Co. of Augusta recalled more than 80 types of canned chili, beef stew, corned beef hash and other meat products over the weekend, in addition to the 10 brands it recalled Thursday.

The list of brands recalled, in case you’re one of the potentially-stricken:

Austex, Best Yet, Big Y, Black Rock, Bloom, Bryan, Bunker Hill, Castleberry’s, Cattle Drive, Firefighters, Food Club, Food Lion, Goldstar, Great Value, Kroger, Lowes, Meijer, Morton House, Paramount, Piggly Wiggly, Prudence, Southern Home, Steak N Shake, Thrifty Maid, Triple Bar and Value Time. The recall also includes four varieties of Natural Balance dog food.

I’m curious what meat product you would sell under the name “Thrifty Maid.” Or maybe I’m not.

    I’m thinking lips and assholes are involved.

    One word for the veg heads: spinach.

    Since there are only two times when it is appropriate to eat meat from a can (1. emergency shelter. 2. Extended camping) how in the hell are there so many canned meat options?

    Problem is that the spinach got diseased because it was being watered by water that had pig shit in it. If people ate less pig, then it wouldn’t be a problem.

    Please don’t shoot me. I’m just the messenger.

    Well, it technically depends on what you do with the food. Cooking appropriately will kill critters like E. coli that turned out to be the problem with the spinach. I’m a lot more careful with the food I buy at my local Farmers’ Market.

    Ground up budget butchers, entitlement slashers, corporate tax cheaters and those who invented non-thinking tv news, flavored with Wild Irish Rose and Old Milwaukee.
