A friend just sent me a link to Omaha Action 3 News – “Recall Ridden Beef Plant Stays Open: Why?” Good question and I love the first line – “Another day, another recall from one specific South Omaha meat packing plant.” Here is the fun part: An Action 3 News investigation has found ties between […]

If I poisoned 85 people, my guess is that I would be facing serious jail time (I can see the Raw Milk and Big Beef folks dancing now). However, if you’re a company, like Nebraska Beef, that slaughters about 2,000 head of cattle a day, employs about 800 people in Omaha and has successfully sued […]
The Courant reported this morning that the Connecticut State Department of Agriculture said Friday that the E. coli outbreak that seriously sickened five people who drank raw milk from the Town Farm Dairy most likely came from one cow.
