snack time

[food poisoning kills at least 27 children]

since i figure most of you won't read the article, i'll summarize.

apparently a kid brought some cassava root with him to school as a snack and he shared it with other kids on recess. cassava root is poisonous if not prepared correctly. i'm assuming this batch wasn't so much "prepared correctly" since 27 children died and 100 are undergoing treatment.

as horrible as that is, i'm really wondering just how much of this crap the kid brought to school with him. i mean seriously. that's a 127 kids that ate it. he had to have had a wheelbarrel full of it and a shitload of compadres.

uh so yeah, upon further analysis it looks as though there was a vendor outside the school selling the rooty-tooty-fresh-and-fruit snack pack that wiped out the entire playground.

i knew there was no way the kid coulda had that many friends.
