I wonder if at some point eating meat should be equated to low self-esteem.

More people were sickened in 2011 by contaminated fruits and
vegetables than meat in the U.S.

Not to mention the number of children that were sickened even by
non-contaminated fruits and vegetables!

How about the children picking those fruits and vegetables?

How about people who *are* fruits and vegetables?

Cite?

P.S. Fruits and vegetables can be washed and/or cooked to the proper
temperature. Good luck with mad cow disease, nutball.

Very few people cook their salad to the 'proper temperature'. 'Washing' the
vegetables is often the best way to spread the bacteria.

Unless you are eating the brain or other nervous system tissue, it probably
isn't an issue at all.

Yes they can, but they aren't. People buy pre-bagged greens and don't
bother to wash them.

No thanks. I'd rather have the one kept in cages and fattened up with milk.

What does your classic unsubstantiated and erroneous claim have to do
with television, Newport?

I have to watch ads for dead animals daily on TV. I'd love to be able to
sue somebody for that.

You should sue the TV manufacturer for failing to provide your unit with an
off switch.

No, that's what remotes are designed for. When the movie, or whatever,
gets to a gory part, you flip channels. Of course, you have to be careful
with timing, you don't want to return before the gory stuff is over, but
wait too long and you miss the rest of the show.

And there's always a risk that you get distracted by the other show, and
don't return to the first one.

It's harder with DTV, since it takes time to accumulate the picture, so
the leaping between channels is not as fast.

many of those pre-bagged greens say right on them that they are 'pre-washed'
and many studies have shown that washing the stuff actually increases the
likelihood of contamination because of other issues in the kitchen area.
The only real solution is just to avoid fruits and vegetables altogether
since they cause the greatest amount of foodborne illness. if people want
to remain safe and healthy they should just eat meat. here is some more
food for thought:

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/04/27/holstein-mad-cow-disease_n_1458550.html

'In addition, bovine protein is not supposed to be fed to other bovines.
However, bovine protein is routinely fed to egg-laying chickens, and the
"litter" from those chickens - chicken excrement and the feed that spills
onto the floor - is collected and rendered back into cattle feed.'

YUM!!!!

But not chicken from Safeway (yes, this is a NEW problem).

Why are you still shopping at Safeway?

Side note: if you are going to snip text, don't snip the part about cows
being fed chicken poop as a diet supplement. Some things need time to
furment in readers' minds.

It's a long haul to the next place?

Most of what I get there is non edible (including the chicken, har har).
Last night I was there at 8ish as they were closing out "five dollar
Friday" were most of the $5 specials were ... $6.99. Anyway the hot
food aisle was closing out and he was putting the chicken in containers
for $5 and convinced me to take one ... stuff was hard as a rock on the
outside but completely undercooked (red raw bloody) at the bone. It was
like Bobby Flay had prepared it, which is to say, I threw it out.
