During my very educational career in trucking I delivered a load of dry
beans to a well known manufacturer of canned chili in Oregon. As they
were unloading the truck I got the sad story from the driver of the
truck in the bay next to mine. It was a reefer and he'd been hauling a
load of frozen chicken. The reefer had broken down and by the time it
was fixed the chickens well well on the way to being defrosted and the
original consignee refused the load. Making the best of a bad deal he
sold the load to the chili plant for pennies on the dollar.

Never did buy that brand again...

I became very ill last Friday from what I consider to be food poisoning. I quit drinking the milk I was being given at mealtime because my stomach was still a little unsettled. My roommate asked for the milk on my tray so I'd been giving it to him for a day. Last night he had projectile vomiting just like I did. He's a complete invalid and his bed had been adjusted so he was flat on his back when he started barfing. I happened to be in my wheelchair so I quickly rolled out into the hallway to catch a pair of CNA's to come help him. Dang! He could have drowned in his own puke. He had more than one episode later in the day so I called for help again. I suspect the milk and will pay a visit to the administrator tomorrow to let her know what I suspect. The milk didn't smell spoiled but it could still be bad. I'm strong enough to get over food poisoning but there are some folks here at the center who are a lot weaker than I am and I fear food poisoning could kill them. Š™.˜‰
