For the love of Slim Jims

I have always known that one of the things I love the most isn't good for me. Any edible item that has a main ingredient of "food-flavored solids" probably shouldn't be consumed EVER but it is so very tasty and comes in many interesting flavors. Who doesn't love a nacho flavored food-flavored solid every now and then? Today in North Carolina a terrible explosion occurred at a plant that produces the tasty "meat" sticks and it injured several workers and at this time 3 more workers are missing. Apparently the explosion was so large that it caused the roof to collapse in three different places in the plant. There is news footage of the plant in the aftermath and there are chemicals spewing from various pipes and smoke billowing from the fire that resulted from the explosion. I'm not sure if it was the Partially Hydrogenated Vegetable/Soybean/Cottonseed Oil, Xanthan Gum, Monosodium Glutamate, Trisodium Phosphate, or the Sodium Benzoate or some combination of those chemicals that caused this explosion (I imagine someone in a HAZMAT suit getting careless with the weapons grade beef fatty tissue) but it is something to think about. Something in my Slim Jims caused an EXPLOSION so powerful that a roof of a manufacturing plant to collapse. Gives a whole new meaning to "Snap into a Slim Jim" doesn't it?
