Gotta love republican (lack of) policies...if Al Quaeda don't get you, your food will.

2. I don't buy prefab burger patties...ever!
I feel pretty safe, actually.

At least if my son remembers to lock the doors at night.

He's forgotten a few times and it gave me the 'willies'!

4. Hamburger Patty, By Far
About 5,000 Americans die from food poisoning each year. I believe that more than 20,000 people die in the US from the flu each year. 400,000 Americans die each year from sudden cardiac arrest (a.k.a. massive heart attack) - that number could be halved if everyone took a couple of fish oil pills each day.

5. Because of animal-exploitation's effects on Global Warming . .. .
we're all more threatened by animal-eating and dairy product production ---

These kinds of exploitation are harming us directly --
and the planet, as well.

As for the terrorist -- they're in the White House -- and I'm hoping that some day they'll be in International Criminal Courts -- !!!

7. Hamburger patty.
I boycott beef, so I'm not at risk, but a lot of other people are.

8. Al Qaeda's full of calories. Coronary time bomb.
Hey, stop thinking. Show us your Lark. Eat a big Mac. Put a tiger in your tank. Just say no. Just do it. Duck and cover.

12. Vegetarian here but I'd

go with the hamburger as the greater danger. That's one of the reasons I'm a vegetarian. Of course now you can't trust veggies, either because our gubmint is so lax.
