Many truck drivers can tell stories of malfunctioning refrigerator units. Units settings on wrong temps. Some units running out of fuel while on truck or rail yards. Only to be tended to when temps have risen over 40 degree. These are some things Transportation Co.withhold.

I had a meal that included turkey at Disney World on Thursday the 21st of July and became seriously ill that night. By the next morning my heart beat was skipping a beat after every three beats. I recovered sufficiently to travel the BC Canada and went to a Doctor in Nanaimo on the of 26th of July, and started a course of antibiotics the same day. The next day I went for all the necessary tests and the result came back positive for Salmonella by Friday 28th of July. The antibiotics seemed to have worked so far, but I intend to return to the Doctor tomorrow for a follow up.

The reason it is legal to sell contaminated poultry. Is because that is the only way factory farms can produce poultry. I travel everyday and pass the trucks loaded with turkeys on their way to be processed. Rain, snow, heat it does not matter. Boxes staked on top of boxes. By the time they get to the plant they are covered in excrement and dirt. The trailer is then parked and they wait to be slaughtered. They are taken straight from the trailer to an evisceration machine. Were even more of their excrement is spread on the carcass. It is then washed. But it is hard to kill those nasty microbes that are now on the carcass. This is why statistically speaking one of the most dangerous things you do every day is eat a meal. Hundreds of thousand of americans get food poisoning every year and thousands die. Only in America do you not have the right safe food or know where or how it is grown. We must end CAFO's and demand GMO labeling of our food. I saw on the news yesterday. A recall of toy car keys. There had been 17 reports of the keys breaking and 16 reports of the key ring breaking. No, reports of a child getting hurt. But all 1 million toys are recalled. If 10 children died from eating the ground turkey. The response would be " You must not of cooked it long enough or the child must have touched the counter where the food was and did not wash their hands. The rights of the corporate food machine, comes before the rights of you the citizen. Demand safe food. Buy Local, Buy Organic
