FDA lurves new media

Unless I still get salmonella from a Clif bar or there’s another outbreak, I promise this will be my last post on the peanut butter panic of 2009. Partly because I’m thinking about switching off of peanut butter to Vegemite (oh wait!) and partly because the FDA and CDC are releasing enough gadgets to make Q of the James Bond films happy.

First there are the CDC’s badges seen below. You place the code for these badges on your social Web sites like Facebook and MySpace to “let your friends know that you support healthy choices and encourage

them to do the same.” It reminds me of wearing a Dare T-shirt in grade school to let the other kids know: Don’t even bother offering this fifth-grader meth — I’m drug free!

It gets better.
