Bean stew 3.5 (final)
Dry beans and frozen vegetables are an incredible nutrition value.

Not earth-shattering, as the point of that little bit of code was just to prevent running a DELETE query against a nonexistent record - which shouldn't even happen if people are using the UI instead of hand-editing URL parameters.
