MORE BEEF TROUBLE

It's still not a ConAgra-sized fiasco, but the Cargill ("Emmpak") recall has been expanded again by about 600,000 pounds, bringing the amount to 3.3 million pounds of E.coli-infected beef so far. On the off-chance that you get a bite or so without any fecal contamination, be aware that scientists with US National Cancer Research are now undertaking to determine whether growth hormones in regular beef contribute to breast cancer. Gee... ya think?
