Romaine, Zomg

Just saw, Poisoned - the Dirty Truth About Your Food (2023). Documentary on food contamination.

Forget lettuce, unless you intend to cook it, just don't eat it.  It's the equivalent of pulling the grenade pin on an antibiotic resistant bug. 48 hours you're in a coma, if you survive, a couple months later, dialysis and kidney transplant.

Oh man, just checked Tp4's fridge, both leafy (romaine/spring mix) bags bought from costco produced in the Salinas valley, Calif.

Salinas Calif, and Yuma Arizo, are the 2 worst perpetrators of outbreak.

Lettuce has been a bogeyman for decades.
I always rinse all leafy greens myself, leaf-by-leaf.

"However, even though I was born in the Mesozoic, I do know what anyone who wants to reach out to young people should say: Billionaires took your money. They took your chance to buy a home. They took your chance at a good education. They stole your opportunities. Billionaires took the things you want in life. If you really want those things, you have to take them back.
That's the message. That's the whole message. Say that every day, not just to reach America's frustrated young white men, but people of every age, race, and gender.
Late-stage capitalism is a wealth-concentration engine, focused on vacuuming up every dollar and putting it in as few hands as possible. Republicans are helping that vacuum suck.
How does a tiny fraction of the population get away with this? They do it by dividing the other 99% of Americans against themselves."

So does Tp4, unfortunately, you can't always get it off by washing. Cooking's the only safe route. Unless you grew it yourself.
