yes. and when that percentage is higher, they just hold those pallets and run them through a pressure washer machine. you'd think though that the FDA would at this point have "no acceptable limits" with hantavirus breakouts as of late. 100% reason to wash the can/bottle top you drink from. so many people just have no idea what's out there.
Well, we have to get herd immunity somehow...

Sorry, I'm kinda late to this game

It has so many frogs blended into it that it looses its vegan designation? That is one of the funniest things ive ever heard!
I think one frog would be enough

Hey Smorg!
Been absent since early yesterday. My son was saying his stomach and back hurt. I did the McBurneys test and knew it was his appendix. Spent the night in the ER and he had surgery early this morning.
Hoping for a speedy recovery there my friend

On a positive note. I HATE the iPhone camera, but here are some recent pics.
I promise my tank does not run this blue. I just can’t figure out the iPhone camera

I was at a firefighter academy and a vegan was talking about how he had been given a leather jacket his friend "found by the side of the road" and talked him into wearing when he rode a motorcycle. I didn’t ask how he justified all the bugs him and his motorcycle splatter midair while riding during the buggy season.

They are delicious but I didn’t want to turn everyone on to them and cause them to jack the prices up. I keep a 3 month supply of them at all times.
High in protein too
