New Brunswick, NJ, Jan. 14, 2010 — The law firm of Garces & Grabler has set up a humanitarian fund drive to help earthquake victims in Haiti. They are accepting donations on behalf of Haiti Help Med Plus at their 7 office locations throughout New Jersey.

The recent earthquake in Haiti, which has affected about 3 million people, has devastated the capital city, Port-au-Prince, and has left thousands of people without shelter, food or water.

“These are among the poorest people on the planet and they desperately need our help! Garces & Grabler will immediately start collecting donations at each of our offices,” wrote William J. Garces, the firm’s founder and managing partner, in an email this morning. “I will personally make a donation and I encourage everyone to donate what they can. Tell everyone you can!  Let’s all help make a difference!”

All monies collected will go to Haiti Help Med Plus, a non-profit 501(c)(3) Organization.

Those who wish to donate in person should visit www.GarcesGrabler.com for office locations.

School lunchrooms and fast food establishments are using a beef component in their ground meat for burgers that has been injected with ammonia to kill E. coli and salmonella, according to a New York Times article.

Beef Products Inc., the company responsible for this innovative technique to use fatty trimmings that were once relegated to dog food and cooking oils, had commissioned a study that revealed that the ammonia process was effective in killing E. coli and salmonella.

With the approval of the United States Department of Agriculture, this processed beef has become a mainstay in school lunchrooms and fast food establishments. According to the article, the federal school lunch program used an estimated 5.5 million pounds of the processed beef last year alone.

The article goes on to state: “But government and industry records obtained by The New York Times show that in testing for the school lunch program, E. coli and salmonella pathogens have been found dozens of times in Beef Products meat, challenging claims by the company and the U.S.D.A. about the effectiveness of the treatment. Since 2005, E. coli has been found 3 times and salmonella 48 times, including back-to-back incidents in August in which two 27,000-pound batches were found to be contaminated. The meat was caught before reaching lunch-rooms trays.”

On a personal note, this information is enough for me to no longer allow my son to buy school lunches that contain beef. I have contacted the township school board via email to find out who the beef supplier is for our lunch program. Hopefully, I will get a response soon.
