We should be able to wipe aside any fema or fda punks that stand in the way! YEA!

LOL, I want to take a squad and head for the MREs, DangerousDave I guess you can lead the attack on the EPA's...LOL!

Here´s my post from the hurricane relief topic:

Referring to the EPA:
Germany sent 4 food loads , each about 15 tons. 3 went well, the 4th was rejected by the secretary or department of agriculture because of the possibility of EPA meat being contaminated with BSE!! Isn´t that ridiculous? Same goes with british and russian rations sent to the USA.

So the next hurrican is probably hitting the states causing more chaos and the government is destroying food which is needed and will be needed in the near future...how stupid.

I haven't heard anymore news on the EPAs...... I did hear that the military has reduced numbers on the coast to help with Rita in Texas. Alot of the MREs that were being distributed are starting to dry up is what I hear now.

I'm not too surprised about the MREs drying up. I'm guessing that they really emptied their warehouses when Katrina first hit and now they're starting to think, "hey, we need a lot of MREs for the troops in Iraq, too".

I've heard that the MRE producers (Sopakco, Ameriqual, Wornick) have received new contract to start producing MREs and I'm sure they're running three shifts a day to get them out, but these two hurricanes must have really cut into their inventory.

Hey Guys,
Just read in the local military newspaper tonight that the emergency services down in the Texas (i.e. FEMA) have requested additional Meals, water and plastic tarps for the hurricane effort in Texas. Guess this means that the MRE contractors will be working triple time trying to get the meals out.

Have any of you ever seen the contents of a good Cajun Jumbalaya? Nothing the Brits can whip up will touch that!

Hey Guys. Here's a link to a Washington Post article about the impounded British rations.

If they are looking to get rid of them, I'd gladly take a few!

I guess like Jules said to Vincent after Vince blew Marvins head off, "Believe it now, MF-er". Uncle knows best. Actually, a funny side note. Since I served in Germany in the late '80's, I'm not allowed to give blood in America, as with 95% of other ex-Vets, simply because theres a .0000009% chance I could be carrying the Mad Cow disease, because I ate beef in Europe. Nonsence at Americas' best.

Seems like eveyone is getting in on the "blame game".

I don't understand why somebody doesn't fess up and take responsibility, it would definitely makes things easier.
