Disaster Blog

I know this is an assignment and everything but reading, and writng for that matter, about disasters just brings me down. I mean i'm not expecting to blog about rainbows and puppie but come on! As if international and local disasters arent publicized enough throughout the media but now we have to blog about it?!?! Not to mention read a book where it seems like every other chapter is plagued by death or suffering of some sort. I know it's a simple, unrealistic, and unreachable wish but, I just want the world and all of its inhabitants to be happy! Jeez.

Thai Food Scandal

It seems that Hundreds of people in the Southern province of Phatthalung fell ill with food poisoning as of late, this was due to a local outsource of contaminated canned fish. The fish had been sent as a relief to the south because of a recent flood there. I'm sure this gesture was meant to be helpful, but you'd think that after the 'bad peanut butter from china' situation people would generally be more careful about their insourcing and outsourcing. I guess not.
