Snickers, Too??

Jeff passed his physical with flying colors, with no advice to lay off Snickers. But then Jeff noticed this CNN article:

Last month, news of the "China tainted milk scandal," or tainted baby formula scandal, first broke. The issue is "high traces" of the industrial chemical, melamine was found in baby formula and identified as the reason 4 kids have died (and more than 13,000 have been hospitalized).

Our hearts go out to any and all families affected. We cannot imagine the feelings a parent would go through, feeding what you trust to be simply good baby formula, only to bring on kidney stones to an infant.

And now, according to the article above, products such as Oreos, M&Ms and (oh-so-delicious) Snickers bars are being recalled and banned, since they, too, were manufactured using the tainted milk powder.

All seriousness aside, Jeff says poo-poo to this widely cast net of fear-mongering. "This is just a xenophobic ploy to cast doubt on an all-American treat, the Snickers bar!" Tonight for dinner, Jeff is having Snickers and he's going to enjoy it like it's his last.
