Tainted Meat by Maple Leaf Foods

[Lise]

Oh great, something to take off your neverending list of containmenated food. Here's the lastest from Maple Leaf Foods.

 

TORONTO - At least one person is dead and 16 others ill across Canada from a bacterial infection that can be fatal to the infirm, the elderly and unborn children - and could be linked to a massive, nationwide recall of ready-to-eat meat products made by food giant Maple Leaf Foods.

Health authorities in Ontario are dealing with 12 confirmed cases of listeriosis, a disease caused by the bacterium Listeria monocytogenes - often found in soil, vegetation, animal feed and feces, and recently in certain processed meats produced by a Maple Leaf plant in Toronto.

[Lil Me]

Anyone want to sing with me...

Ooooh...tainted meat.....ooooh oooh ooh...tainted meat....


Sometimes I feel I've got to
Run away I've got to
Get away
From the pain that you drive into the guts of me
The meat we share
Seems to go nowhere
And I've lost my light
For I toss and turn I can't sleep at night

(chorus)
Once I ran to you (I ran)
Now I'll run from you
This tainted meat you've given
I give you all a boy could give you
Take my meat and that's not nearly all
Oh...tainted meat
Tainted meat

Now I know I've got to
Run away I've got to
Get away
You don't really want IT any more from me
To make things right
You need someone to hold you tight
And you'LL think meat is to pray
But I'm sorry I don't eat that way

(chorus...)

Don't touch me please
I cannot stand the way you tease
I love you though you hurt me so
Now I'm going to pack my meat and go
Tainted meat, tainted meat (x2)
Touch me baby, tainted meat (x2)
Tainted meat (x3)

[Sportsdude]

Oh goodie! lol I hope it brought back fun and happy memories! 

[Michel]

bah... zombie dance late at night... one of the danceable tune of the era... 

Why sadly on Itunes SD ?

[Sportsdude]

because its rated in the top 2 biggest one hit wonders and I was exposed to it through a daytime soap opera about 8 years ago. lol

It's up there with the Come on Eileen" by the Dexy's Midnight Runners on songs I do not play, but are on my ipod.

there's other ones, but give me a few minutes.

Yikes, the joy of not speaking English and living in a French speaking province... lol 

[Sportsdude]

yeah, like seriously, all I see on RDI in the afternoon/morning are cooking shows.


 

[Michel]

??? I think you confuse with Radio-Canada maybe. RDI is the news channel. They have L'Épicerie (can be translated as "the groceries store") which inform people about healthy food, ethnic food, effect of food on your health and the best special of the week in the big supermarkets. That's all. 

[Sportsdude]

Yeah I meant R-C.

hmm interesting. I'd of thought RC would have more France tv shows instead I always see promos for American stuff.
