Today I read that lettuce is being recalled due to e.coli.

Last night on the news there was a spot about Bolthouse Farms Carrot juice, and some folks getting sick after drinking it.

I'm really beginning to be a bit afraid. What's next?

Does anyone else think this could be part of a conspiracy to get us to accept genetically modified foods?

It is scary.I don't know if there is more e-coli it could just be it is now more publicised.As for a conspiracy I think that anything is possible!

Now we have the Taco Bell e.coli outbreak! However, don't be scared, just take precautions. We live in an age with great medical care - in previous generations, epidemics were rampant.

First they were saying it might be the lettuce, now they are saying it is Taco Bell's scallions. Luckily I never go to Taco Bell.

yeah people panic over one or two people getting sick the media loves to cause panic its how they keep people wathing

Right. Take reasonable precautions but don't be swayed from eating fresh fruits and vegetables - they are good for you. Remember heart disease is the #1 killer!

If there is one thing that the media can do, is cause trouble.

I think nothing to worry about it. It's just sometimes the media over exaggerated the issues. I still eat raw foods now such as spinach, carrots, lettuce and more. But makes sure that you wash thoroughly before eating.
