Not to be "that guy", but just another reason to go veggie.
Or starve if you consider more food poisoning outbreaks are from leafy greens, sprouts, etc than meat recalls. Mexico helps us out on that front.

finally saw this. while im not surprised at the scope of their reach, its still scary
I heard this story on NPR today.
Years ago I worked a few projects in Colorado DOC prisons. One of the (many) big industries was farm raised tilapia worked by prison labor. I do enjoy tilapia but now always refer to it as the sex-offender fish.

Just in case anyone can't find it, the correct title is Our Vinyl Weighs a Ton. I'm going to watch it tonight.
Going to see this soon: http://www.hbo.com/documentaries/going-clear#/
Not sure if anyone has mentioned Searching for Sugar Man, but it was pretty good.
There is no way I can make it through the past 4 years of recs on this thread so forgive me if any of these are repeats.

They are heavy but they're all really good. There are feelgood moments in all of them (Except for Let the Fire Burn which is just a fucked up story).
Last days in Vietnam is nothing short of amazing. An eye opener too, seeing congress give in to the masses of dumb ass hippies, directly resulting in tens of thousands dead when N.V. ripped up the Paris Treaty and invaded S.V.
The Chinook part was incredible. You have to watch it to believe it.

More than me? Yes. Probably. Because Im not American. And your post makes no difference to what I stated. A bunch of dumbasses ignored Fords request for funding and thousands of south vietnanese died because congress catered to a bunch of dumb ass hippies. Had nothing to do with YOUR constitution or respect or anything to do with 1971s break in of an FBI office and more to do with the Paris Treaty and what we call 'war crimes'. Fuck I cant believe im responding to non-sense.

The nonsense was the US being there in the first place. You watched ONE documentary covering a minute portion of that monumental mistake...
http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/military/etc/cron.html
Again, not much to do with the breaking of a treaty (peace accord)and war crimes and crimes against humanity which could have been prevented had congress got their act together. But hey whats several thousand vietnamese lives worth when youre high on cocaine and a babyboomer in the 70s?........
at any rate, you can watch the doc or not but its outstanding.

We killed 1000s in various war crime US military operations against civilian populations BEFORE withdrawal admitted by our military itself:

Hippies didn't have their head up their ass and it was a much bigger failure than Iraq:

Whats funny is I reccomended a doc and brought up the facts pertaining to breaking the paris peace accord and you ass-ume I not aware of what exactly the Vietnam war consisted of or the politics behind it.
Strawman has a new face.
Again, I recomended a doc, and you are making no sense with regards to my post other than to point out the obvious and common belief that US involvement was a mistake. But since the US wasinvolved and pandoras box was opened it was their responsibility to enact the very things in the accord. This is very basic. The south vietnamese relied on the US to defend their lives. Something you seem to forget. Your knowledge of history is clearly one based on bbc and pbs documentaries. Apparently. Not one based on an understanding of what a peace accord is and what the consequences are when one breaks it. Then you post a doc about 8 people who were patriots. Thats akin to using snowden as evidence that the iraq war was a sham.
Go watch the doc and enjoy it.

Or maybe we are just misunderstanding eachother.
Watch the doc. If just for the chinook part it is worth it.

I'm sure it's a good documentary, but the whole quagmire was a result of flawed foreign policy used by both the US and the Soviet Union during that era. Puppet states like SV aren't recognized by international law to start. Don't need a treaty if you don't use misguided foreign policy.

Obviously the US and the Soviets learned nothing as shown by Afghanistan (and also Iraq for the US).
Also don't forget the West didn't really believe in the principles they preached:

A story of Ink and Steel: The Art of Collotype. Short Doc. I can't embed here but this link takes you to the video.

caught that on tv last year and it was pretty good
I've never had Tilapia that doesn't taste like mold. My hubby keeps trying to bring it home and forgets it is gross every time. I've cooked it several ways, just not my thing! But I gotta know, is prison raised Tilapia better tasting?
