“Let’s Talk Turkey”

The USDA has recalled 36 million lbs. of ground turkey due to a salmonella outbreak.  The meat has been connected to illness in 76 people, and obviously, the death of over a million turkeys.

Officials say properly cooked meat, to an internal temperature of 165 degrees, would be safe to eat, even if contaminated, but a lot of people are quitting cold turkey.

Experts say it’s still healthier than eating at any Taco Bell.

“Taco Bell, What’s in that Shell?”

A lawsuit filed Friday alleges that the meat mixture used by Taco Bell in its beef products does not meet the minimum USDA requirements to be labeled “beef.” A Taco Bell spokesman said that their customers are satisfied with their food quality and value, adding “Besides, they’re too stoned to care.”

Also, it turns out that their cinnamon twists are just made of Styrofoam.

In response, next week Taco Bell plans to unveil their new line of Burritos, made from real burros.
