I wrote here<\/a> about how we found out how Peter Pan peter butter got poisoned: the company, months after the event, did a belated inspection that blamed a leaky roof. The FDA hadn’t been able to find that same leaky roof when it inspected fact two months earlier.<\/p>\n

Neither the company nor the FDA, we know now, managed to notice what it took those evil "trial lawyers" conservative Republicans so love to hate to discover some three months after the fact: a dead rat, rat traps, and roaches, and more. Conditions worthy of Upton Sinclair’s The Jungle.<\/em><\/p>\n

"Attorney Randall Hood of Rock Hill and 15 other attorneys<\/a> were inspecting a ConAgra foods plant in Slyvaester, Ga., in April when they found the dead rat, bird fathers inside the plant, roaches on raw peanuts and other things ‘consistent with salmonella contamination,’ according to a court document."<\/p>\n

Ask your Aunt Millie<\/a> to stop voting for Republicans. If she won’t, at least tell her to skip the Skippy.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
