After l'ltel will the hamburger or rod snap

That's one of many questions opponents ot

questions about food safety are merely scare
tactics
Instead, they ask another question Can the
state's landfills continue to handle the amount
of trash — much of it produc t pac kaging
that Oregonians throw out?
