For Shame, For Shame, For Shame

A few months back I wrote about the small church in Minnesota being sued by the bastards at the meat packing plant that produced the cow shit laced hamburger the church bought from
Super Valu and then served to unsuspecting folks at a potluck...........well super litigator Bill Marler has an update at the marlerblog

You might recall a post I made several months back about Nebraska Beef
suing the Salem Lutheran Church of Longville, Minnesota claiming, among other
things:

* That, upon information and belief, an environmental assessment of
the church kitchen and food preparation procedures by the Minnesota
Department of Health indicated that there was a high potential of
cross-contamination between the ground beef [filled with pathogenic cow
shit] and other foods during food preparation.

* That, upon information and belief, the damages sustained by
the Plaintiff[s], if any, [one died of E.coli-related complications,
and one suffered acute kidney failure] are the direct and proximate result of
the negligence and/or other fault for tortuous conduct of Third-Party
Defendant Salem Lutheran Church.

Now, I just got notice that Nebraska Beef intends to put the pastor
under oath - good gawd!

I also found this little tidbit from the meat packing plant lawyers:

"If you went to eat at McDonald's and they didn't process the food
right, why would you be less mad if you went to a church smorgasbord," said
Gary J. Gordon, the Minneapolis lawyer representing the Omaha
slaughterhouse. "Everybody that's providing food to the public has to adhere
to a certain standard of reasonable care."
