WASHINGTON - As many as 6 million prepared meals stockpiled near potential victims of the 2006 hurricane season spoiled in the Gulf Coast heat last summer when the Federal Emergency Management Agency ran short of warehouse and refrigeration space, according to agency officials.

In all, hundreds of truckloads of food worth more than $40 million are being thrown away or scavenged for unspoiled contents to be offered to domestic hunger-relief groups, FEMA officials said. Most of the meals were commercial versions of the military's Meals Ready to Eat, which were ruined despite being engineered to withstand the demands of desert and jungle climates.

2. At this point I think we need to ask for proof of delivery

I am sure they were billed and paid for what we need to make sure of is that these things ever existed.

The margin you and I leap over to get to normal consideration of a topic or issue is the realm these sleazeballs use to their advantage.
