The USDA has declared that Hot Pockets are unfit for human consumption. (As if anyone with a sense of taste didn't already know that.)

A recall of two varieties of Hot Pockets has led to them being pulled from store shelves. It turns out that 8.7 million pounds of meat from diseased and unhealthy animals went into the "Philly Steak" and "Croissant Crust Philly Steak and Cheese" pockets. If you have any of the recalled Hot Pockets in your freezer, call Nestlé Consumer Services at (800) 392-4057 for a refund and more information.

Great. Now I have to tell my kids that all Hot Pockets have to be thrown away.
