Hot Pockets Yanked From Shelves for Containing ‘Diseased and Unsound Animals’

If you were planning to eat a Hot Pocket today, you might want to reconsider that decision. Several varieties have been recalled after it came to light that some of the products’ meat had not undergone proper inspection, CBS Baltimore reports.

More specifically (and more vomit-inducingly), some of the meat — if affiliated with the California-based Rancho Feeding Corporation — could have come from “diseased and unsound animals,” according to a news release from the USDA. The Giant supermarket chain has pulled the Philly Steak & Cheese and Croissant Crust Philly Steak & Cheese varieties, according to CBS Baltimore.

"You know he bakes here...you know he bakes there...he be bakin' all day"
"I bake anywhere!"

Does Snoop and Kate know they are eating diseased meat?

(I really don't trust that butcher shop now!)

Years ago there was a story about the meat used at Taco Bell. The story said it was meat from cows with tumors and shit. Taco Bell's business didn't decline, as far as I can tell. Too many people will eat whatever you shove in their face as long as you coat it with some kind of sauce or fake runny cheese.

Americans love to eat. They are fatally attracted to the slow-death of fast food. Hot dogs, corn dogs, triple bacon cheeseburgers, deep-fried, butter-dipped in pork fat and cheesewhiz, mayonnaise, soaked barbecue, mozzarella patty melts. Americans will eat anything. Anything. ANYTHING. Shit, if you were selling sautéed raccoons assholes on a stick, Americans would buy them and eat them! Especially if you were to dip them in butter and put a little salsa on them! This country is big-time pig time. Forget Star-Spangled Banner. You know what the national anthem of this country outta be? The Oscar-Meyer Commercial Jingle! And while we're at it, change the bald eagle to a big bowl of macaroni and cheese. A BIG BOWL. Cause everything in this country is king size, extra large and SUPER JUMBO. Especially the ****ing people!

Have you seen some of the people in this country? Have you taken a good look at some of these big, fat mother****ers walking around? Big fat mother-****ers! Oh, my God. Huge piles of redundant protoplasm lumbering through the malls like a fleet of interstate buses. The people in this country are immense. Massive bellies, monstrous thighs, and big fat ****ing asses!!! Next time you're in the vicinity of one of these creatures, stand there for a minute and observe. And if you stand there for a minute you'll begin to wonder, "How does this woman take a shit?" How does she shit? And more frightening still, how does she wipe her ass? Can she even locate her asshole? She must require assistance. Are paramedics trained in this field?

Standing right next to her, of course, with a plateful of nachos and a mouthful of pie is her clueless ****ing husband, Joe Six-pack. With his monstrous swollen beer belly hanging dangerously out over his belt buckle, this guy hasn't seen his dick since the Nixon Administration. And if you stand there and you watch the two of them as they're stuffing their faces, you begin to wonder, "Do these people ****?" Is this man actually capable of ****ing this woman? It doesn't seem structurally possible that these two people could achieve penetration. Maybe they're in that Cirque Du Soleil or something.

thinking they might make a nice, quick, portable meal. I took one out and put it in the microwave. I had one bite and threw the rest away, including the box. I don't see how anyone can call that food. Now, granted, I'm not a fan of pre-prepared meals (unless I prepare them myself) but good goddess! It was inedible.

My Nieces kids won't eat anything homemade, (yes they are spoiled), it has to be prepackaged crap.

I asked them why they don't like home cooked foods, "because it doesn't taste real".

Out of the mouth of babes.

I weep for our future.

6. Another Food Recall Warning: El Monterey Brand Taquitos And Tornados(R) Recalled
Wed Feb 19, 2014, 07:59 AM
Feb 2014

Industry is recalling El Monterey brand Taquitos and Tornados® from the marketplace because they are believed to pose a risk. Consumers should not consume the recalled products described below.

The recall was initiated by Ruiz Food Products, Dinuba, CA, USA. The manufacturer used some of the beef products which were recalled by Rancho Feeding Corporation, Petalama, California, USA on February 8, 2014 "because it processed diseased and unsound animals and carried out these activities without the benefit or full benefit of federal inspection." Therefore, these products are considered unsound, unwholesome or otherwise unfit for human consumption.
