The shredded varieties had wheat gluten in them and they ate those about half the time. My gut tells me it was the new shredded chicken which was new back then, but I don't know which he ate just before getting sick. It could have been any of them.

I have been watching and waiting for one of these people to talk about food safety in their campaigns. Seems to me it would be an issue they would want to be strongly in favor of. Myself, I will not vote unless someone takes this issue seriously. After all, if they don't believe in one of the most basic of human rights, the right to have safe food, and the right for Americans to know where that food comes from, I would find it hard to believe they could really care about anything. If Americans are concerned and they turn a deaf ear I could not in good conscience vote for them. Re: The Presidential hopefuls.

WHY?! Does this mean none of the Senators running for President really care about whether or not citizens in the US must be forced to pay their hard earned money for food that's just going to poison them? They don't care if children die? Still no co-sponsors? WHY?!
