DALLAS - A company that prepares food for major airlines says it has cleaned up its Denver kitchen after federal inspectors found live and dead roaches and listeria bacteria at the facility.

According to an FDA letter to the company, inspectors who examined the Denver facility found live and dead roaches "too numerous to count" in several areas of the kitchen, including at least 40 live insects in the silverware station.

The FDA said inspectors saw employees touching food with bare hands or while wearing unwashed gloves. They also noted problems with the building, including water dripping from the ceiling into utensil-cleaning areas and holes in walls that could house insects or vermin.

4. Last several times I flew

the only "food" served was either a package of peanuts or potato chips, take your pick...... I'm talking about a three and a half hour flight from Cleveland to Denver and visa versa.

5. What a bargain! That snack only cost $10 of your total air fare.

Sorry, I don't have a link. It was a print article from about 10 years ago on the breakdown of air fare. Snacks like peanuts and such averaged $10 and a meal was around $30 for coach and I'm pretty sure it was about $80 for first class. Personally I think someone just sucked numbers out of his/her ass to come up with the list but then again, they are charging for checked bags now.

8. You got peanuts?

Last time I flew, the "food" did not include anything as nice as peanuts.

Peanuts would cost the airline more than potato chips and other junk food.

6. Wasn't there a movie about this?

I hope nobody ate the fish.
