What BBN said about it

1. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorA cheddar recall over a dangerous bacteria is hitting shoppers in two states, and joining us is Thaddeus Okonkwo-Reyes, who lobbies for both the cheese industry and the food-safety side.

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorSo which side are you on this morning?

3. TO

   Thaddeus Okonkwo-ReyesVera, speaking purely as a consumer, both. The recall is a triumph of responsible dairy, and also a scandal that demands answers from the dairy.

4. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorThose are opposite things. Who are you demanding answers from?

5. TO

   Thaddeus Okonkwo-ReyesSpeaking purely as a consumer who happens to be retained by a major cheddar producer, I am demanding them from a very concerned coalition.

6. TO

   Thaddeus Okonkwo-ReyesWhich also pays me.

7. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorSo you're angry at yourself.

8. TO

   Thaddeus Okonkwo-ReyesI prefer to say I'm in a dialogue. I've already sent myself a strongly worded letter, and I billed both clients for the postage.

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorAnd that wedge of cheddar under the glass dome behind you. Is that part of the recall?

10. TO

    Thaddeus Okonkwo-ReyesSpeaking purely as a consumer, I'd love to eat it. Speaking as counsel for both sides, I need to check which client is asking.
