Editorial Blog #1

So this is the first editorial blog yay! fun stuff....
Anywho my editorial was posted on USATODAY.com by a person (that was remained anonymous) on 2/4/09. It was about the Salmonella problem in our country right now and basically talks about this peanut plant in Blakely, Georgia that was shut down because of Salmonella. It also talks about the sanitation problems of this peanut plant such as various holes in the roof which could leak water into the building, mold on the walls and roof, holes where critters and animals could enter in and out, and roaches found in various places. Kinda scary to know that some of the food you eat might have came from this place...but LETS MOVE ON because I like my peanut products too much. The editorial mainly blames the U.S. government and the FDA for not taking action to put into further investigation into this problem earlier, and blames companies for ignoring the problems in sanitation. I just want to be able to eat my peanut products without worrying about Salmonella... :) On the brightside if your allergic to peanuts then this doesn't concern you as much, haha.
