Balance of Food

Given the news over e-coli found in spinach, it is probably best to cook it. The recommended temperature is 160 F. Unlike with meat, the flavor of spinach at that temperature isn't an issue. But let's really think about this: e-coli should NEVER be on spinach. What a very odd thing if you really think about it. What are we doing with these factory farms. For those who don't know what I'm talking about, the runoff of animal waste from these factory farms has been a severe environmental issue. If that is what caused this current health scare, we need to find a solution. Spinach, by its nature, should NEVER have e-coli.
