  • I walked up to him and told him that he was violating a number of health codes. Next thing I know I’m surrounded by hippies saying, ‘Get lost, we’re hungry.’
  • New York State health inspector Marty Cohen • On the sight of a bearded man wearing a loincloth, a chef’s hat and beads cooking hamburgers for thousands of people at Woodstock. He made the realization that he was of no use in this situation, despite the many health codes being violated. Hippies don’t care about health code! They’re hippies! • source

U.S.: Hooray! Another peanut butter plant shut down!

  • Peanut Corp. of America nixes its Texas plant, too. The company, in the midst of a world of pain due to a major salmonella outbreak involving its Georgia plant, had to close its Plainview, Texas, plant due to finding filth and debris near a production area. All of the products ever made at the plant were recalled too, going all the way back to 2005. Which means your favorite nutty product is going off the shelf. source
