Even it was a joke (which I'd like to think it was) it came off as condescending and rude.
It would be the equivalent of me going up to someone with a car that has a recalled airbag and saying "well you should of bought a 30 year old car with no airbag then".
I think that would be a totally okay thing to say in jest. Anyone who loses their stuff over that comment should need to chill.
Imagine if I had written something like "yet another reason not to eat hot-dogs ;)" or "yet another reason X company sucks ;)". Nobody would care. It's the BLF Anti-Vegan squad, because they feel highly threatened.
without tripping over yourself like an idiot
I never tripped over myself and I'd stand by everything I said.
By weight, I'd wager that field vegetables get recalled the most out of any food product. loving farmers stuffting all over their hands and covering crops in weird diseases.
Actually, I'm not totally sure. Only definitive source I could really find was from the Australian Government.

Which suggests it's mostly pre-made food, and I'd assume most that has meat in it. But I'm not really sure.

Sorry dude, but I'm 99% sure the world will be vegetarian by 2060. This is like someone in the 1800s saying "HAH! Get rid of our slaves! It'll never happen!"
