Balance of Food

Some lessons to take from the spinach/e-coli affair. -- I write about these issues, so I shouldn't be amazed. But I continue to be amazed at how much stuff happens to our food. You do have to be careful. -- E-coli can obviously be dangerous and sometimes fatal. Understand that if you are healthy and aren't very young (toddlers) or very old (senior citizens), you are highly likely to survive rather well. If you have health issues, or are very young/old, you do have to be careful. -- If it is true that irrigation water contaminated by cattle feces caused the e-coli scare in spinach, we MUST solve the factory farms influence issue. Our food health depends on it. -- I was amused at a story about a woman who so desperately needed her spinach pizza fix, she was willing to sign a waiver. Even though I don't like spinach pizza, there are food items where I would be in her shoes.
