Oh - I am not upset Don...I just have come to identify certain blogs - just like journalists - as creators of news via "scare tactics" - vs - actual reporting of news. Know what I mean? It is kind of funny. I see a lot of this kind of stuff everyday and have become kind of - indelible to it...
When you think about all of the food items wee encounter everyday - that are far more risky - but I will risk mentioning some of them ....
1. Lemons...Do youhave lemon in your water or tea at a restaurant? Yes?? Lemons are the one item in the kitchen that when tested - consistently have more bacteria ( salmonella, and e-coli) than ANY item tested...And ---
this is the bad part: They never get washed before they go into YOUR wter or tea!
2. Pick any fruit or vegetable in the store. Look at the origin. Think about the opportunity for rats and other critters to crawl all over it in transit. Do you think they are sterile?
3. Hamburger - need I say more?
