Posted Tue Feb 19 2008: from Los Angeles Times:
Huge beef recall issued http://apocadocs.com/s.pl?1203387792
"The U.S. Department of Agriculture announced the largest beef recall in its history Sunday, calling for the destruction of 143 million pounds of raw and frozen beef produced by a Chino slaughterhouse that has been accused of inhumane practices. However, the USDA said the vast majority of the meat involved in the recall -- including 37 million pounds that went mostly to schools -- probably has been eaten already. Officials emphasized that danger to consumers was minimal."

The ApocaDocs say:
This story is so crazy I hardly know where to start -- however, the fact that they are recalling meat that has pretty much already been consumed might be the most surreal aspect. Of course, the saddest part is that this meat went to school children.
