There is such a thing as xenophobia and your headline smacks of it.

How on earth does "Botulism Cases Force Huge Meat Recall" equal xenophobia?

There's not word one in the headline about country of origin.

The term "self evidence" comes to mind.

I'd bet that mdefranc knows the meat source, and from that knowledge made a natural, (applicable or not), leap to xenophobia. The problem is that he's assuming everyone else shares his knowledge.

On that note, mdefranc, how about sharing some facts?

Of course I could be entirely wrong, and you could actually be stoned/high/plastered etc.

This was posted last night. I wonder if the OP added a note to the headline that was removed before we saw it today.
