two wrongs and a right

Today I learned:

• In more proof that you shouldn't write anything incorrect on the blackboard, even if you spell out carefully why it is wrong, six months of 'meth will kill you' ads make teenagers more confident of meth's safety.
• If you end up homeless, you should do it in LA, where they periodically are able to make more little covered wagons to upgrade people from damp cardboard boxes.
• It's official that Safeway tomato products will kill you, in that their buyer got bribed to accept moldy and otherwise yucky tomatoes. I'd say that we already knew that because their non-salsa organic tomato-based products made us sick, but their organic green beans (frozen or fresh) make me sick, too, and those come from a different supplier. But there's nothing to have stopped their buyer from taking bribes from more than just the tomato supplier.

If you're curious about what-all else the environmentally injured community knows about your food products, you probably already know that things like conventional fruit, potatoes, and peppers are pretty well contaminated with pesticide, and conventional meats have all kinds of bad stuff in the fat, but as to organic products:

• I understand Horizon switched suppliers to one that was technically organic, but used feedlots, and people who had tolerated their dairy products before didn't after that.
• The one time I tried Trader Joe's applesauce, it was rotten and made me sick. And I mean made of rotten apples, and it was in the fall, too, when they should have been good.

It's too bad sick people have very little economic clout, but we know which way the wind blows in terms of contaminated products.
