Servicemen are infected with Salmonella, and we find out why this came to be. (Spoiler: It's the chicken!). We then see simple mistakes chefs do in not keeping clean. But seriously, this film will go down in history as one containing the most puke scenes shown on film. I counted at least 10. LOL Highly reccomended if you can stomach it.
