Hazards: Salmonella Is Traced to Dry Pet Food

I caught my boy eating dry kibbles once or twiv=ce. I just made fun of him and that made him stop.
He said that it wasnt bad.

Course, I used to carry doggey biskits in my field pack and if I came on a nasty dog abiskit usually turned him right around. ANYWAY, I have often gotten the munchies and had eaten a biskit or two.

I ask for penance and absolution.

My tendency is to disregard blogs as credible information sources and the link for the CDC "not found"

Here ya go, and they mention the cdc..

I've caught my toddler eating cat poop. Maybe that's better 'cause the salmonella was removed.

I assume with your experience and expertise reading medical reports you would pay some attention to detail. But like I already said I'm not inclined to give much attention to blogs even when their copied to the CDC. from another on-line blog called "pediatrics online" should you consider I give more credence to blogs I shall start immediately to read Huffington Post and McClatchy Press. In the meantime I shall continue to regard credibility as significant.

The official journal of the American Academy of Pediatrics is a blog?


I know you're knocking BBB about McClatchy, which I don't read, but don't equate me with HuffPo because I look at it.

the conclusion reached by the Journal of American Pediatrics is

There is a stray period at the end of the link. Remove it and it works.

You tell me this when I gave you the link to the Journal of Pediatrics? (via NYT).

The mocking gets tired.

ok fair enough, on the other hand the blog post by BBB is, at best, shoddy journalism. If you're interested I would be happy to parse that post word by word to make my point, if you're interested.

As I've explained over the years why I often don't post a link URL for newspaper and magazine topics. I used to post the link, but stopped because it caused a serious problem. Articles are only visible in newspapers for one or two days. So many times, A2Kers would ask me how to find the link once it was no longer visible. I would spend hours hunting for them, often learning that they could only be found with difficulty in the archive. Many newspapers charge a fee for archived articles. So, I gave up and no longer post the link.

Many A2Kers told me they understood why I no longer post the links and agreed that it was a problem they had not realized.

BBB

I posted shortly thereafter with a nytimes article which linked the journal of pediatrics, that, far as I read, supported her 'grab'.

Why are you chasing an elderly woman who had source(s) that interested her, that she thinks may interest others, and sometimes do?

You are chasing her take as shoddy.
We can decide that and agree, or look further, but BBB reaches to inform.

Osso, you noticed?

BBB

Sure.

On this I don't agree.
