FDA Confirms Contamination!

The FDA confirms that they found salmonella in a single package of its peanut butter crackers produced by Kellogg Co. Now it’s time to do a full recall on every product made with peanut butter. But this won’t happen until more people get sick. I haven’t heard about any major recall as of yet. I could have missed it, but don’t think I did. I do know that Kellogg had already recalled 16 of their products because of the chance of salmonella contamination. But what I want to know is why hasn’t the FDA start forcing this crap of the shelves. I did read that stores to protect their customers are pulling, but not all of them. Anyway, as of today at least six people have died and almost 500 got sick. And I read that there are also close to 100 people in the hospital, some in serious condition. The real question is why didn’t the FDA pick up on this sooner? I know for a fact that the FDA has inspectors checking on food processing plants. It seems they could have dropped the ball on this one.

Coffee Anyone!

I came across video today about a site called Lot 44 Coffee. Click on play to watch the video, I think you will enjoy it. Now, if you live in the Los Angeles, downtown area this seems to be a great place to go to. I don’t go to a lot of coffeehouses in my area, but I would definitely visit this one. It looks like a great place to meet people and just hang out. So check the site out, check the video out, and if you live in the area, check their location out.

Starbucks And Smoothies!

Did you all hear that Starbucks is now going to offer smoothies.  I guess they need to do something new, because they’re losing customers fast.  Did you know that McDonald’s coffee beat out Starbucks in a 2007 taste test, which was conducted by Consumer Reports?  That’s right, McDonald’s has better coffee than Starbucks.  And I would have to say I agree.  I have been saying for years that Starbucks is so over rated.  I never really cared for there coffee.  Anyway, Starbucks is trying to become like a Dunkin’ Donuts, but with much higher prices.  I think I’m going to stay with my pot of coffee at home.
