Yummy!
For those that need a reason to avoid the "mystery meat"....
WASHINGTON (AP) -- A mix of bacteria-killing viruses can be safely sprayed on cold cuts, hot dogs and sausages to combat common microbes that kill hundreds of people a year, federal health officials said Friday in granting the first-ever approval of viruses as a food additive. The combination of six viruses is designed to be sprayed on ready-to-eat meat and poultry products, including sliced ham and turkey, said John Vazzana, president and chief executive officer of manufacturer Intralytix Inc. The special viruses, called bacteriophages, are meant to kill strains of the Listeria monocytogenes bacterium, the Food and Drug Administration said in declaring it safe to use on ready-to-eat meats prior to their packaging. |

Salads can be good, especially if you grow the plants yourself. Unfortunately, there are lots of pesticides put on some produce to make them attractive to the market. Apples are sprayed about 18 times. I don't care if there are a few "bug holes" in my romaine, as long as it's grown in the good ole horse poop that enriches my little veggie garden. I think I'll invest in Intralytix. inc on Monday. Last edited by Downthestretch55 : 08-19-2006 at 03:28 PM. |

OMG. Like I don't have enough food additives to worry about. I'm about to go totally organic and local. Sheesh. I can already barely eat most the food out there because of the crap in it and on it. Ugh.
