The USDA wants us to be vigilant about keeping food safe. With one out of six Americans suffering from a food-borne illness this year, it's no wonder that they want to get the message out.

What do you think of the USDA's new advertisement?

Just like the Meth commercials, show the after effects of not paying attention in the kitchen.

What would we do without the Federal Government and all its bureaucrats telling us to do the obvious?

You would be surprised at how many people don't know these things. Never "over"estimate your neighbor.

So he cooked the lobster already and now it's time to refrigerate it for later. He's too lazy to get off the couch and put it in the fridge? I'm reminded of those jeans commercials where you have no idea what they are trying to sell you until a Levi's logo pops up at the end.

i agree that the commercial kind of misses the point. btw, that lobster is alive. cooked lobster are red.
