Boebert's Pork Sliders Caused Bloody Diarrhea

Article is from before the election .

But three years ago, Boebert's food apparently posed a greater risk to customers than untrained staff after her pork sliders allegedly poisoned dozens of people at a local rodeo, making them nauseous and sending some home with bloody diarrhea, The Daily Beast first reported.

But local health officials were already familiar with Boebert's operations. In 2017, authorities cited "an unlicensed temporary retail food establishment associated with Shooters Grill" for a mass food poisoning incident during the Rifle Rodeo at the Garfield County fairgrounds, according to Garfield County records.

The morning after the rodeo, the country's public health office documented receiving calls from attendees who complained of food poisoning. Some reported severe symptoms.

An investigation traced back to the pork sliders served by Boebert at the event. The meat "was smoked at Smokehouse 1776, a retail food establishment located in downtown Rifle, Colo., across the street from Shooters Grill and owned by the same person," according to the records.

Officials who later visited the restaurant suspected that the pork had not been stored at a safe temperature. They found that Smokehouse 1776 had no "cold holding" or "hot holding" mechanisms in place, and that the restaurant "does not maintain temperature logs so there was no way of showing that food was kept at proper temperatures." (Smokehouse 1776 has since closed, The Beast reported.)

They also reported "bare hand contact with ready to eat foods, no handwashing station [and] no barrier protection from insects."

With enough toxins remaining you can get the symptoms of a syndrome called "Boebert's Pork Sliders Shits."

I once got sick after I ate some meat which seemed to have a bad taste . I think it was old .

These days I avoid getting food from some places after a certain time on certain days.

For example late Sundays since it probably slows down after around lunch and whatever you get later on can be something that has been left out for a long time. I would rather go to a fast food place.

I also got sick after I had a funnel cake and I think the oil they fry it in was probably left out for a long time.

It isn’t necessarily that the cooks try to mask bad meat, it is just that seasonings (often cultural seasonings) and accompanying vegetables that they use accomplish that end.

One of the biggest problems most people have when food makes them sick is determine what component was bad and what meal was bad. There are exceptions, when a person becomes violently ill or a group of people that shared a common food source become violently ill, it is possible to identify the source quickly.

45. Food poisoning
Sat Jan 16, 2021, 12:04 AM
Jan 2021

Okay everyone, listen close:

The "danger zone" for potentially hazardous foods (meaning anything that can make you sick if it's not kept refrigerated or heated, including meats of all kinds, dairy and eggs) is 40 degrees to 140 degrees. If you keep potentially hazardous foods between those two temperatures for more than two hours, and then you eat them, you can come down with a nasty case of food poisoning which can cause gastroenteritis - which caused the bloody diarrhea. Cooking the food won't solve the problem because the toxins are heat-resistant.

Since we're talking about a smokehouse here, it appears to me that she tried cold-smoking meat she would cook later (this is how bacon and hams are smoked) and let the temperature rise above 40 degrees. Since she has no idea about the term "process control," she didn't know her process had gone...well, out of control...and the meat needed to be discarded as hazardous.

The hubby exposing himself:


Although the girls said they attempted to ignore him, Jayson came up behind them soon after and "unzipped his pants, removed his genitals exposing the shaft" while "covering the head of the genitals with his hand," according to Officer Donivan Livingston.

...

After officers arrived on the scene, Jayson reportedly denied showing his genitals and instead claimed that he unzipped his pants and merely showed his thumb.

So many jokes, so little time. Sigh.


Bang Bang Barbie's checkered past:

Congressional candidate Lauren Boebert — who often espouses a pro-police, law-and-order message on the campaign trail — has been arrested and summonsed at least four times over the past decade, records show.

While the three arrests and one court-ordered summons were for petty crimes — and in one case all charges were dropped — Boebert’s record is unusually long for a congressional candidate. It has become a campaign issue as the Republican from Rifle competes in a highly anticipated contest against Diane Mitsch Bush in the 3rd Congressional District, which spans western and southern Colorado.
