Not sure if you guys have heard about this yet, but the FDA just approved the use of a bacteriophage (bacteria-eating virus) as a food addative. It’s virus that meat-packagers will begin to spray onto meat to destroy the type of bacteria that kills about 500 people a year.
A virus.
On our meat.
Anybody else want to join the vegan croud besides me? Because really… the war on food has just stepped up from chemical to biological, and the civilian casualties are going to be regular folks like you and me.
hmmm…. well, at least they’re not treating it with microban!
Is there any requirement for disclosure?
just clicked the link: guess not… EWW!
seriously. Isn’t that disturbing?
with hot dogs, who would be able to tell the difference?
Well, I think I *might* prefer a hotdog covered in bacteria over a hotdog covered in a virus. A virus can spread, after all.
It becomes really complicated when you find out that hot dogs may be able to alter cellular structure–look it up. (lol)!
bleah.
a salad sounds really good right now.
