Last week, ConAgra, a huge food conglomerate, recalled 800,000 units of Marie Callender’s Cheesy Chicken and Rice Frozen Entrées. The fear – a salmonella infection that has spread to 14 states. Recalls happen every once in a while, and we’ve written about them in the past.

When I was growing up I ate the SAD diet (Standard American Diet) – beef, mashed potatoes and tall glasses of milk. But I never felt well. I realized I could perform better athletically and feel better with a vegetable and plant-based diet. People become vegetarians for different reasons.

“McDonald’s is the stranger in the playground handing out candy to children.” These harsh words are part of an ultimatum that CSPI, a consumer advocacy group, has sent to McDonald’s in a bid to stop the habit of pairing kiddie sized junk food meals with irresistible toys.

Campbell’s is recalling a large number of it’s signature Spaghettio’s canned spaghetti and meatballs products.
