sorry if this is a repost, but i was just reading some news and was stuck on the first sentence of this article...
the part that i bolded is what is so oddly inaccurate that i had to say something.
I just know that if i got food poisoning in any form i would not describe it as "moderate."

'Slim Fast' Recalls All Shakes, Diet Drinks
Slim Fast is recalling every last one of its popular diet drinks out of concern they may be contaminated with bacteria that causes moderate food poisoning.
abcnews.go.com
About 10 million of cans of the diet drink Slim Fast are being recalled in the United States over concern they may be contaminated with bacteria that can cause moderate food poisoning. <= wtf?
ABC News reports that all cans and cartons of ready-to-drink Slim Fast products are affected, "regardless of flavour, best-by date, lot code or UPC number".
Unilever, which makes Slim Fast, (and fuckin soap) says the recall was prompted by "quality testing" that turned up Bacillus cereus, a toxin that can cause nausea and diarrhoea but is not life-threatening.
A Food and Drug Administration official says the inspection that uncovered the B. cereus was conducted after several consumers complained to the company.
The official says the FDA has received "a handful of complaints from time to time about this product but not recently".
