Cool, just never eat chicken again.

Survey results seem to indicate that about 80 percent of poultry growers don’t ever sanitize their crates, according to an Auburn University survey of 10,317 farms. What’s more, just 18.3 percent sanitize their trucks and trailers—two areas that contribute to the spread of Salmonella and Campylobacter.

Seriously, the title isn’t a joke. Prepare to be grossed out by your food again.

Winner: Most horrifying article on our site today.

I’m just not going to eat anything, ever.

Colbert’s Super PAC raises over $1 million, and includes this lovely letter:

think-progress:

Dear Sirs and Sirettes,

Americans for a Better Tomorrow, Tomorrow (ABTT) would like it entered into the record that as of January 30th, 2012, the sum total of our donations was $1,023,121.24.

Stephen Colbert, President of ABTT, has asked that I quote him as saying, ”Yeah! How you like me now, F.E.C? I’m rolling seven digits deep! I got 99 problems but a non-connected independent-expenditure only committee ain’t one!”

I would like it noted for the record that I advised Mr. Colbert against including that quote.

Sincerely,

Shauna Polk Treasurer Americans for a Better Tomorrow, Tomorrow, Inc.
