So while he was away, he took the half-cooked turkey out of the oven and put it back in when he returned. That is, of course, the precise way used to cultivate c. perfringens, one of the less-fun intestinal bacteria. At that, he was very successful; the turkey and subsequent state of our collective health not so much.Robert Suttonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02672701398991894576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4025543309103512449.post-72500985099172760962017-06-29T18:44:34.566-07:002017-06-29T18:44:34.566-07:00My fond memories of college food: 1) the time our ...My fond memories of college food: 1) the time our fraternity cook used the instant mashed potatoes instead of the flour in the chocolate cake 2) yogurt? what the heck is that? supposed to be good for you, looks easy to buy at the student center, I'll give it a try 3) if you come downstairs and it's pancake day time to grab the box of corn flakesMikeGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04979758473943722728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4025543309103512449.post-45828637666267393112015-12-21T09:56:10.131-08:002015-12-21T09:56:10.131-08:00The proper (and even appropriately liberal) way fo...The proper (and even appropriately liberal) way for Oberlin to have responded is this:<br /><br />We the administration at Oberlin admit that we have been insensitive to the world situation regarding food. For that reason, we will be serving students for the next five days the type and quantity of food they could expect to eat if they lived in one of the five most impoverished countries in the world. We will start Monday with Burundi, followed by Ethiopia, Eritrea, Yemen and the Sudan. We hope this brings all students to a realization of just how rich and privileged they actually are.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4025543309103512449.post-78106695080992214942015-12-21T07:59:01.129-08:002015-12-21T07:59:01.129-08:00Here's precisely why this piece is correct.

I cannot imagine offending the food service there by complaining that my ethnic food was bad. So why should people come to the US and do it? You really have to hate this country to think that's the right thing to do.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
