Smart move, indeed. A minor chance of contact with E.Coli seems more dangerous than documented certain heart disease, cancer, and wait for it.. more E.Coli!

- vilmosi 8y agoIf you read the article, there's a bigger chance of getting E. Coli from greens... Also, I believe that was a joke.
- windexh8er 8y agoThis is most certainly untrue. All you have to do is consider the fact that all uncooked meats come with a warning. This is because it is well known, and admitted by the meat and egg industries, that raw and undercooked meats and eggs are unsafe for consumption. This is because of the environments they come out of. Greens on the other hand are not fertilized with manure or subject to E.Coli laden environments during processing. The only unsafe greens are mainly things like alfalfa sprouts that can come into contact in the processing chain. I'm surprised at all of the disinformation.
- Fomite 8y agoThe last big E. coli outbreak in spinach was because of an E. coli laden environment - notably, wild hogs in the field, and then contamination in a washing pool.
- blattimwind 8y ago"all uncooked meats come with a warning" ... like... literally? There is a warning printed on all raw meat packaging in the US?
- Cthulhu_ 8y agoGiven it's the US, I wouldn't be surprised - if the warning's not on there, people could (and probably have) sued when contracting food poisoning.
- djrogers 8y ago> most certainly untrue Have you read the article? It’s absolutely true, and the article cites many reasons why (hint, the fact that we cook meat is one of them).
