I mean they were romping in the roasting bins and leaving evidence of excrement and salmonella typhimurium all over the place...and let's not leave out the dead rodent count and the dead roaches that got ground up in the mix of it all. Is that death in a peanut butter jar or what!!!!!! …sounds like President OBAMA needs to talk with Attorney William MARLER to get the real deal on the “house rats” in the Peanut Corporation of America’s plant.

Many of these meals have been distributed in community shelters and by the national guard to people staying in their homes in remote areas. These areas are without electricity due to the ice storm, and the victims of ice (and now possibly peanut butter) likely do not have access to TV or internet news reports telling them not to eat the peanut butter. Wouldn't it have been nice if somebody at FEMA had been alert enough to not send out the packets in the first place? How about expecting FDA and FEMA to coordinate information for things like this?

Here's excellent commentary from the Obama Foodorama website on the topic: http://tinyurl.com/dh989c It’s a little distressing to think that it would take a politico’s child becoming ill from peanut butter or other contaminated food to get government action on food safety.
