Pretty alarming headline, since if you have a baby, chances are he eats food, and most people don’t want to poison their baby.
Yes, there was a batch of Plum Organics apple and carrot baby food pouches that might be tainted with botulism, but only one batch (UPC 890180001221 with a sell by of “May 21, 2010”, which is sold only in Toys R Us. There have been no reported illnesses from it.

The headline shown on the page is a more passive “E. Coli Path Shows Flaws in Beef Inspection” but I’m going with the one they show in the page’s title bar. It certainly sounds bad.
It IS pretty bad. Eating a burger and ending up paralyzed is pretty serious stuff. And the flaws in the inspection process obviously need addressing, and fast. The whole meat factory concept is looking a little suspect these days.

Ok, that sounds pretty bad. Mercury is bad, and it’s everywhere!
Reading the article, only 1/4 of the fish had potentially dangerous levels of mercury. But still, that’s a lot of fish with high mercury levels.

Oh. My. God.
Bacon causes cancer!!!
Well, actually, the article says that if you don’t exercise, and eat a ton of meat, you increase your cancer risk. But hinting at a link between bacon (the big “B”) and cancer (the big “C”) makes for a much better headline.
