    Beef Recall -- What a Shocker! (insert sarcasm here)

    ConAgra of Greeley, Colorado has recalled about a gazillion pounds of beef due to positive tests of e-coli bacteria. This comes as no surprise to me as this meat packing plant was the focus of a wonderful feature on PBS' Frontline as well as the best selling book, Fast Food Nation written by Eric Schlosser. One thing I learned from the book is that once a recall is in place, it's usually WAY after the meat has been sent out. Sometimes even months later. I would suggest that everyone take a look at whatever pre-packaged meat they have in the freezer. And always cook your ground beef to an internal temperature of 160 degrees.
