23. "Do you suppose that they wouldn't consider such a thing?"
Edited on Sun Aug-08-10 11:27 AM by Whoa_Nelly
I presume nothing when it comes to safety standards being met by what are supposed to be our government guidelines and law.

A few cases in point:

~The air quality at ground zero just a few days after the twin towers destruction on 9/11 was declared safe to breathe with workers later having serious to deadly respiratory and/or cancer-based illnesses.

~Gulf oil cleanup workers were (are) exposed to Corexit, and are experiencing poisoning symptoms, although deemed safe and not an issue.

~E.coli and salmonella enters out food chain frequently even though standards have supposedly been met at processing plants.

So, am very skeptical re: simply smelling food to qualify and deem it safe.

Am more glad than ever at this time that I'm a vegetarian.
