3. Rediscovered bologna??? For the love of Pete

WHY??????????????

Icky bad stuff. Don't eat it!!!
It's full of chemical additives (that may be why you're craving it...some of the additives are to tickle your taste palette)


...and think of all the cholesteral you're eating...yuck!

And here's some interesting info:

Meat also can become poisoned as it's processed into hot dogs or bologna. The US Food and Drug Administration and the USDA recently warned that children under six and pregnant women should avoid hot dogs and sandwich meats unless they're thoroughly cooked, due to the risk of Listeria monocytogenes infection. Once mixed into food, L. monocytogenes continues to multiply, despite refrigeration. Usually, it causes mild flu-like symptoms, but it can turn deadly in young children. Pregnant women are 20 times more susceptible to infection, which may lead to miscarriage or stillbirth. Each year, L. monocytogenes causes 2,500 serious illnesses and 500 deaths. As food processing is concentrated among fewer and fewer facilities, large-scale contamination becomes more likely. Last year, for example, agricultural giant Cargill recalled almost 17 million pounds of processed poultry products due to the risk of L. monocytogenes.

12. I like the bologna, too. Especially with cheese. Anyway, not

meaning to be a buzz kill, but don't get beef bologna.....the mad cow you know. And, have a couple of Vitamin C tabs before you ingest the "round steak". It counteracts the Sodium Nitrite and keeps it from turning into the cancer causing chems. Just sayin'.......
