FDA Says Spinach Is Safe to Eat

When the big spinach scare (apparently perpetrated by an Al Qaeda chapter of the Future Farmers of America or FFA for short) was on, I suggested you folks go right ahead and eat spinach, so long as you know where it came from.

Tonight, the FoolsFood and Slugs Drugs Administration tells you that spinach is safe so you can return to consuming Popeye's favorite delicacy. But considering how the FDA operates (always far more worried about food and drug corporations than the health of the American consumer), I now recommend you DON'T eat spinach.. at least not until the FDA tells you to avoid it again.

Cynical? Me? Never.
