More pet food recalls: Salmonella in dry cat/dog food

Mars brand dry cat and dog food is being recalled due to salmonella contamination. Their products include Pedigree, Pet Pride, Red Flannel, and Wegman's cat and dog foods. If you have any of the contaminated batches, THROW IT OUT. Canned should be safe since the canning process sterilizes it.

I don't know how susceptible cats and dogs are to it, but both humans and birds can get salmonella, so check your cat/dog food if you have those animals.

If you don't have contaminated batches, it doesn't hurt to wash your hands lots, just like if you were handling raw chicken. Freezing does NOT kill salmonella - you still have to cook chicken after freezing it.

Am I the only one who finds *their* fashion sense horrible?

I like that Michelle Obama isn't wearing blazer suit things. Those things are unflattering because they are a feminized version of men's clothing. And women are NOT men, they are not judged upon the same standards as men, so they need to stand out in their own right, both in substance, and in style.
