Yep....it all started from contaminated peanut butter.....

I think there were two separate points of origin by two different companies around the same time frame (give or take a year), but I can't find that info other than the two links below have different company names, ConAgra and Peanut Corporation of America. The ConAgra plant where the majority of the contaminated stuff came from is only 20 miles from me, but I think there were several that had several large batches of contaminated peanut butter go out to the public (if I recall). Salmonella was the main culprit and deaths were involved as well as major intestinal and digestive issues.


Quote

-----------------
In 2007, a salmonella outbreak blamed for sickening at least 625 people in 47 states was traced to the Sylvester, Ga., plant where ConAgra made Peter Pan and Great Value peanut butter. As a result, the company recalled all of its peanut butter that had been manufactured since 2004.
---------------------------------
And last fall, the former owner of Peanut Corporation of America, Stewart Parnell, was convicted of felony charges in a 2008 salmonella outbreak also linked to peanuts processed in Georgia. Parnell awaits sentencing and could face prison. Unlike the ConAgra case, prosecutors had evidence Parnell knew he was shipping contaminated peanut butter and tried to cover it up using fake lab tests.

Kid's problems progressed to the point to where had surgeries involving removal of portions of his digestive tact, and also (I think) had issues with bacterial infections from the surgery....been in a lot of physical pain and anguish since.

As I recall the POS who ran the thing got off pretty much scott free.  I wonder if he's having to shoulder the financial burden without any assistance from the culprit?

I hope they serve him a LOT of peanut butter sandwiches in prison. And with EVERY bite he will need to worry that it is bad like the stuff he sold.

What they should be doing is spending several hours a day tending to The Kid's care...let them live each day with what their greed has done to him....but from what I have seen of the Kid here, he would be acting to easy their suffering.

I can only admire what I have seen of him here.

I do check here time to time; not sure how I missed this thread though.

Overall not too much time on the internet for the last 2 years or so. Wife of 20 years got a new boyfriend (husband a year later), moved her and the boys to the deep south (long long way from Montana). I am trying to fix, maintain, and sell our fantastic off grid property.  It has been a long, long, stressful and expensive 2 years. I can forget retirement now too..

I can say that dating sucks at 50. More like going in to be voluntarily waterboarded!!  I did meet a nice gal though, who is as sick about doing 3Gun as I am.

Once I get moved I will need to setup my HF again. Extra Class since the late 80's.  I like CW, and run a lot of digital stuff on 40 or 15.  Question is where am I going to move to, and will I be able to setup my tower!!

Dang man I hate to hear about the wife crap.  Worse thing is taking your children so far a way. 

I am certain you'll get on an even keel though. 

CW guy eh?  I'm more phone.  I haven't pushed to the Extra yet.  I tried to get some of the guys here amped up for Museum Ships Weekend.  Next comes Route 66.

Good to see you back, if only for a post or two.

Try to remember us when you get back on the air.   Maybe I'll finally have my antenna up on top of the tower.
