Indiana; Health Dept. investigates Castleton Olive Garden

[reb]

now come on guys,, that's ridiculous to say you're going to avoid ALL leafy greens altogether, because of one crappy chain restaurant in one town in america. you can get food poisoning from anything-- and besides in this case they are supposedly focusing on one employee who had flu-like symptoms (and why the he!! was this person allowed, or made to work that day? is what i wanna know...)
you are still better off eating as much vegetable & leafy greens as you possibly can.. the risk of getting food poisoning from it is far less than the health risks of NOT eating them...!
and it's still better to buy from local organic farmer's markets than to buy stuff from big industrial factory farms anyway. at least that way, you can usually talk face-to-face with the person who grew the food you are about to eat! and they are far more conscientious about what they put on your food.

This is in my state, so I've decided to err on the safe side and will only be eating doughnuts from now on.

Hello Drak Knight,
Can I join you with the all doughnut dining?
Respectfully,

I get sick at the thought of eating at an Olive Garden restaurant. If I want my sauce from a can I could just buy it from the store and heat it up.

I always think of it as an 11.95 lean cuisine.

Is it just me being paranoid,or does anybody else think that there could be something more going on here? It just seems like there is a rash of food born illnesses happening all at once. How do we know this isn't some terrorist plot to contaminate our food supply? Sounds ridiculous,I know,but who would have thought people would fly 2 planes into the World Trade Center?

Sounds ridiculous....maybe not ridiculous ar all. I look at everything differently since 9/11.
