Sunday Globe Special: Breakfast Bite From India

In the form of a buried brief:

"Children’s food had highly toxic levels

PATNA — Samples of cooking oil and leftover food taken from an Indian school where 23 children died on Tuesday after eating lunch this past week were contaminated with ‘‘very toxic’’ levels of an agricultural pesticide, police said Saturday. Forensic tests revealed that the samples contained the pesticide monocrotophos in very high levels (AP)."

That means it was likely all pesticide and no cooking oil, and somewhat explains the placement in my corporate pre$$.

I wouldn't eat the full meal (absolutely no humor intended at all; it's all sardonic sarcasm based on sadness. That and the anger are pretty hard to get down these days).
