Egads! No wonder we're all junk food addicts. You try to eat healthy and you end up with some gene-mutating fungus. And really, who actually has time to cut up a head of lettuce? No thank you. This is the perfect excuse I've been looking for to subsist entirely on french fries and milk shakes, never having to worry about sharpening my already stellar cooking skills.
I received the following very scary message from my sister:
Packaged Salad Mix Warning
I just received this and thought I would pass it on. I checked Snopes.com and sure enough it is True!!!!! So, stay away from packaged salad mixes. Which is very disappointing as they are so handy! I know we all like to cut corners from time to time!
Packaged salad mix
NBC Dateline did a documentary on cut-up lettuce and spinach packaged
in plastic bags. They took us through the whole process and talked
about how the Ecoli bacteria is now showing up in the salad mix in
bags. They don't know yet how the Ecoli got in, but they do know that
deaths and serious sicknesses are occurring in many states.
One woman told about how her child was near death from the lettuce and
was sick for a long time. They warned us not to buy any bag salads
until they find out from the investigation what is causing this
contamination.
The Dole Company has recalled their bags. See the link below.

Please pass this one on...and perhaps save someone's life.
