Updated Tuesday, August 30, 2010*  (See Below)
OVER 500 MILLION EGGS HAVE BEEN RECALLED IN THE USA.   Since this posting, the egg recall has been expanded to 550 million eggs according to the latest posting from REUTERS NEWS AGENCY.  That is the equivalent of 45.8333 million dozen!!! That is the equivalent of 183.333 MILLION RESTAURANT SIZED OMELLETES.  THAT IS A SUFFICIENT QUANTITY TO KILL more than every American ALIVE TODAY.  This represents about 8.5% of the total egg production estimate for the USA in 2009 (6.5 billion).  THIS IS ROUGHLY  TWO EGGS PER EVERY LIVING AMERICAN.  THIS IS A NATIONAL EMERGENCY.  THIS IS A NATIONAL DISGRACE.

NOT ONLY IS THIS A NATIONAL EMERGENCY, IT IS A NATIONAL DISGRACE!  DO NOT ALLOW THESE PEOPLE TO STAY IN BUSINESS.  BOYCOTT ANY AND ALL DAIRY PRODUCTS STARTING TODAY. 

THE FOOD AND DAIRY INDUSTRY HAS BEEN AWARE OF THIS GROWING PROBLEM OF SALMONELLA AND OTHER FORMS OF BACTERIAL CONTAMINATION FOR MANY YEARS.  IF YOU HAVE RECENTLY BECOME ILL FROM TAINTED DAIRY PRODUCTS (FOR EXAMPLE; DIARRHEA, VOMITING, FEVER... and so on..) and you have recently been sold dairy products - especially EGGS - a suggestion: send all of your doctor bills to the place where you purchased these tainted products.

They may protest their innocence, they might even develop a law suit* against this blog, but make no mistake about it...they have possibly compromised your health, your safety and your life for the potential of making a few miserable cents on the sale of these compromised "food products".  RETURN ANY AND ALL EGGS AND DAIRY PRODUCTS TO YOUR LARGE SCALE RETAILER OF THESE PRODUCTS TODAY!!!

Also, one study estimated that eggborne illnesses in the USA exceeded 180,000 in year 2000.  It should be pointed out that roughly 200 people have been sickened per week since May of this year.  This would be equivalent to 10,400 people being sickened per year ~ a figure which sounds low based on the year 2000 study. 

There is abundant literature concerning salmonella in eggs and other contamination.  We hope to return with more information for you shortly.  Please visit our Google Books section (below) on Food Safety.  It should also be pointed out that we have not named the companies identified in the principal investigation of this outbreak.  Please contact us or leave a comment if you need these names.

The egg recall has been expanded as of Saturday, August 21, 2010.  The USA Today news website has done quite a good story on this latest outbreak, link to it here: http://www.usatoday.com/news/health/2010-08-19-salmonella19_ST_N.htm

And now it looks like the Egg Recall will be expanded even beyond the staggering half-billion mark.  We are guesstimating that the number could come close to one billion eggs.  This comes from REUTERS NEWS AGENCY and other news outlets, as of Monday, August 23, 2010.  Although, we more than expected this when CNN reported today that the source of the origin of the outbreak has not been identified yet.  The new rules (guidelines, really) went into effect only July of this year - at least 3 months too late, perhaps?  See the "Draft Guidance for Industry Link", below.  Please send us your comments or to the FDA.  But, please be advised, the FDA and every County Agent or Dept. of Agriculture Office is probably swamped west of the Mississipi River.

*You probably heard of the disgusting news developments on your evening news last night.  It appears that sanitation was neglected at the farms that produced these eggs.  The news was sickening but should have been more graphic, in our estimation.  Why have the media not been able to produce more video or photographic evidence?  ABC News Video Link (Monday, August 30, 2010).

Conalateral or Conulateral

Conalateral / Conulateral: The conceptual collision arising from Biolateral and conundrum with conative. As mentioned in our Biolateral (posting), how does society then support the individuals facing reduced or non-existent income due to reduced fishing and stocks or an outright ban? Would society offer them permanent unemployment insurance as a collateral consequence of these/this actions? The conundrum here is how to meet these needs...

Biolateral

Biolateral: The conceptual collision of biology and collateral. The growing (?) awareness that humanity had better start treating the world's depleting stocks of food organisms (tuna, cod, shrimp...) like a form of collateral - to be used only in preciously allotted quantities at a time. Or else... those stocks may not be available for use and consumption at a future time...as well as those organisms that are associated with them...

Boycott Tuna.

The Food Corridors

The Food Corridors: 'Novel' concept for a new type of non-profit / charity to bring much needed food aid and implements (dowsing rods, well points, shovels, picks, buckets, rope and so on...) to those in the world facing the common enemies of malnutrition, starvation and famine. The charity organization is just now in the concept stages, but we will accept donations and pledges. Please hold on to your donations if you need a tax relief receipt immediately. The idea is to build 'food corridors' for humans much like animal habitat corridors. The concept appears to work for wildlife, why not humanity???

You may also contact us through our current Twitter webpage: http://twitter.com/georgek1029, new web pages are being planned for this new non-profit.
