Government Recommends Stocking Up on Canned Tuna

WASHINGTON, March 16 -- Got enough canned tuna on hand?

You should, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), which just published new recommendations encouraging consumers to prepare for the possibility of a bird flu outbreak by stocking up on canned tuna and other healthy, nutritious canned foods and juices.

In conjunction with the release of a new Pandemic Planning Update report issued on March 13, HHS has published a series of checklists to aid in influenza preparations, including a Pandemic Flu Planning Checklist for Individuals and Families.

Among the recommendations listed, HHS advises consumers to have adequate stores of canned tuna and other ready-to-eat meats, fruits, vegetables and soups as well as canned juices, bottled water, canned baby food and pet food.

Stating that no one in the world is prepared for an influenza pandemic, HHS Secretary Michael Leavitt said, "When you go to the store and buy three cans of tuna fish, buy a fourth and put it under the bed. When you go to the store to buy some milk, pick up a box of powdered milk. Put it under the bed. When you do that for a period of four to six months, you are going to have a couple of weeks of food, and that's what we're talking about."

Even the dust mites must be dead by now... :sarcasm:

Even if its a retention pond.

Don

Every time I see one, I wonder if Sadaam somehow got a few off and they finally just got here.

:scared:

;)

:rofl:

if you're trapped and start eating the tuna, how do you get to a doctor to get help for the mercury poisoning you just got from your emergency supplies?

Eat enough tuna and you ARE the thermometer.

The stink finally went away last year.

barely has enough room to masturbate in that top bunk. And privacy? Faggidaboutit!!!

OOPS! :banghead:

I figured death by kitteh was more likely than death by flu, so I caved.

They LOVE canned food, especially seafood varieties. If I run out and have any tuna that had been meant for me, they get it. If I am also out of tuna, I have been known to cook a chicken breast just for them rather than risk sleeping in a household of angry, plotting cats.

So I ate several cans of tuna under my bed.

That showed him.

And why do we have to put it there one can at a time?

Clearly Leavitt didn't care about people with waterbeds.

It is starting to get a bit tattered.
