The Story You've Never Heard: Blood Tech
Wednesday, June 30, 2010
According to an article by Brooke Smith and John Prendergast in The Huffington Post:
Essential parts of our electronic devices are made from minerals found in eastern Congo. Tin, tantalum, tungsten -- the 3Ts -- and gold serve such necessary functions as making our cell phones vibrate or helping our iPods store electricity.
The same armed groups who control most of the mines that supply these essential minerals to the world market are responsible for the epidemic of sexual violence in eastern Congo. Women and girls pay a gruesome price, and the persistent health conditions and severe trauma that linger for years after an attack are leaving communities and families in utter ruin. In addition, the labor conditions in the mines are abysmal. Indentured servitude is common practice, and children as young as 11 are used to squeeze into the tight spaces underground.

Friday, June 18, 2010
Campbell Soup Co. is recalling a whopping 15 million pounds of Spaghetti-O's with Meatballs after discovering that the meat was not cooked to to the proper temperature due to a broken cooker.
Not to be outdone ConAgra Foods is recalling Marie Callender's Cheesy Chicken and Rice frozen meals due to reports of salmonella outbreaks (at least 30 so far).
Be careful what you eat!
