Sorry, no easy punchline today. There is nothing funny about illness.
Please don’t think having money or shopping at Whole F’s somehow protects you from these pathogens. Why? ‘cause I’ll bet you a home cooked meal that the likelihood of being poisoned by salad greens increases dramatically when those greens are shipped and sold in plastic bags. Like the bagged and ahem, washed salad greens a fancy grocery retailer sells.
C’mon friends, we’re all smarter than this. If you can’t afford or don’t have a local farm market, you can still shop for salad greens safely. Buy a head of lettuce at the Stop and Shop, and then wash it and shred it when you get home. It’s an extra few minutes.
You are worth it.
