Today saw a press release from the makers of POM I thought you would like to see what they have to say..... Please remember when you read it Pom is a fruit juice!

"Only a small fraction of POM's research involves testing on animals, though it never includes dogs, cats or primates. When animals are involved, testing follows well-established scientific protocol and every effort is made to insure that no harsh or cruel methods are performed."

they also felt they needed to add this point to.....

"If actual contamination has taken place, with the intention of injuring innocent people, it is an act of terrorism."

Maybe they should point this one out to the meat industry who every day contaminate our food, our land and our water supply, then I for one may take some notice of what they have to say.....

Wednesday 9th December...

"Fast food chain Taco Bell said on Wednesday it has stopped serving green onions at its roughly 5,800 restaurants following a recent outbreak of the foodborne E. coli bacteria that caused it to temporarily close nine restaurants."

This was a particularly virulent strain of E.coli, called E. coli O157:H7, and can cause severe, bloody diarrhea, kidney failure and even death. Most cases of E. coli O157:H7 have been traced back to meat industry and cross contamination from animal waste to vegetables growing in near by farms.

Who are the Terrorist? Just something to think about.....
