Yet another reason not to eat your veggies!

Actually, the only time I've had food poisoning was from a salad at my college cafeteria.

    Hetep and Respect Good Spirits, sounds like an FDA anti-health scam to me, not to mention the unhappiness of Popeye.

      Ahh! I live in Wisconsin and I have bagged spinach in my fridge right now! Thankfully I haven't eaten any yet, as I just bought it. Ah well, there's $2.50 or whatever down the drain.

      Yeah - better safe than sorry. My friend had E Coli - not fun. (By the way - love the name!)
