BOSTON – The city's Old South Meeting House was the stage Wednesday for about 100 reenactors dressed in Colonial garb who gathered to voice their frustrations about a new tax imposed by the English king on tea shipped to the colonies in America.
Objections were raised about unloading 340 cargo chests sent by the East India Tea Co. on ships docked in the harbor nearby. The assembled men, calling themselves the Sons of Liberty, demanded a fairer tax system, just as did the original protesters on the same date 242 years ago.
SEATTLE (AP) — Perfect food safety is not possible, but Chipotle is trying to get as close to that ideal as they can with new procedures and testing inside and outside their restaurants, the company's founder and CEO said Tuesday during a visit to Seattle.
"It is impossible to ensure that there is a zero percent chance of any kind of foodborne illness anytime anyone eats anywhere," CEO Steve Ells told The Associated Press at the beginning of a day stopping by Seattle restaurants to talk to employees about new food safety rules.
