OT: A Food Safety Newsletter That Will Knock Your Socks Off!!!

greenspun.com : LUSENET : TimeBomb 2000 (Y2000) : One Thread

I subscribe to a news safety newsletter that is put out by a fellow at a university in canada. The June 5 issue will knock your socks off! Topics include: Deadly "superbugs" in Canadian hospitals, antibiotic use in food animals(related to the "superbug" issue), beef hormones,FDA attempts to eliminate labelling for irradiation of food products(which is happening NOW, NOW) and America's "mad deer" epidemic.Folks, you should not miss this issue. Maintaining your health and that of your family during the next few years is of EXTREME importance. To subscribe to the news letter service, send an email to: listserv@listserv.uoguelph.ca Leave the subject line blank. In the body of the message type: subscribe fsnet-L firstname lastname. To get an email of the June 5th issue, you could probably email a request Doug Powell at depowell@uoguelph.ca This is absolutely worth the time to read Yourdonites!!! There is no charge for the subscription. The same guy puts out a daily newsletter on animals and another one on general agricultural topics. Genetically modified food is a hot topic there.

Hi Jeanne, I tried e-mailing Doug, but the e-mail address is incorrect, perhaps you could post his june 5th newsletter to this thread? (I did subscribe to his list).

Hi nobody! The address at the bottom of the June 5th newsletter is: dpowell@uoguelph.ca Also there is a website address where this Doug Powell might be listed as a professor probably: http://www.oac.uoguelph.ca/riskcomm

Sorry,sorry! I did a typo on the address as I now see. It is NOT depowell@etc.....it IS dpowell@uoguelph.ca

Can't get through,how about a hot link? :>)

I could not get through either. I'm at home now and got the June 5 newsletter at my office today. When I get the mail there, I can't get it "again" later at home. So....tomorrow I will try to cut and paste the newsletter into another answer into this thread. I have not tried that before and hope I can. Each newsletter gives specific instructions at the bottom for subscribing and unsubscribing. In general life, I am already scared to death of hospitals and most doctors. Next year I fear that we will have even more to worry about in the medical field.

Well, I tried to paste in the entire newsletter - but when I hit the send button, a message comes up that the connection was cancelled, and it won't "send". I'll try this message to see if it does go in...if so, maybe someone can tell me what I'm doing wrong.

jeanne,

RE: your mention of 'got it at work so can't get it at home'

If you open an email at work and want to see it again at home, resend it to yourself by forwarding it, and then don't open it until you get home, so it will remain on the server. then when you log in at home, it will download to your home pc.

I used to do this and it always worked for me.

And thanks for the heads up. Hope you get the pasting sorted out, as I would like to read the article but do not want to subscribe. My email is already too full!
