She reached out to the manufacturer, who offered to send a free coupon to purchase more salad. She also complained to US Government agencies who are responsible for food and commerce. They took her report, assigned a case number and so far nothing else has occurred.

She spoke to her physician, who ordered toxicity tests and the results will be carefully reviewed.

The lady is now mulling over a lawsuit after purchasing this bag of salad which came with a very nasty bug.

The disgusting insect was a nightmarish way to end her low-calorie meal during her lunch break at work.

Is there a sinister plan to destroy democracy in America as we know it? How close is this great nation to being shattered, or crumble? We must uphold the notion that all men are created equal.

Folks on both sides of the aisle continue to respond after a political power grab and moral decay which included made up comments like alt-left and others that continue to mount on the part of the GOP's orange poop-on grand drag-in.
