Let's look at this...
There are about 305 million people in the US. 470 people have been sick from eating tainted peanut butter. Six people have died from eating said peanut butter. Why such a fuss? Do people not realize that so far only 0.000001% of the population have died from salmonella poisoning from peanut butter? So far, only 0.000154% had been made ill!!
Now, look at this...
On average, the CDC reports on average of 14 million cases of reported Salmonella poinsoning every year. Of those 14 million, the average number of deaths is 600.
The media is making a Mt Everest out of a little bittie 'piss' ant hill. Be cautious, but not scared!!
