Cargill Recalls 36 MILLION Pounds of Diseased Turkey Flesh.. Criminal Neglect By CDC, USDA, and FDA as people in at least 27 states died or were sickened.
Even now, the numbers are being manipulated downward while other countries into
which diseased flesh were exported are not being revealed.
This FIVE MONTH delay has been caused by the huge clout of the biggest controller of
slaughterhouses and/or mammals around the world... in Australia, Thailand,
Argentina, Brazil, Turkey, Canada, the US etc.

Does your breakfast cause rainforest destruction? RAN targets Golden Valley based General Mills
