FDA Approves Salmonella! (Or So Says The Onion)
Fake news is good news.
Thanks to Elinor, Eric and Lisa for sending this news item from The Onion. As The Onion points out, the easiest way to solve the pesky Salmonella problem is to make it legal:
"Calling it 'perfectly safe for the most part,' and 'not nearly as destructive or fatal as previously thought,' the Food and Drug Administration approved the enterobacteria salmonella for human consumption this week.
"The federal agency, which has struggled in recent years to contain the food-borne pathogen, and repeatedly failed to prevent tainted products from reaching store shelves, announced Monday that salmonella was now completely okay for all Americans to enjoy."
I love the illustrations and will be plagiarizing that cereal box for powerpoint presentations.
