Update on E Coli infections in Europe. Today's news update states it's probably not the bean sprouts raised on a German farm; they don't know what caused the outbreak and probably never will.
That's scary.
There's bickering back and forth between countries and governments. It's become a political hotcake.
I'm not an analyst and I don't know all the details about this situation.
I do feel bad for all those people caught in the middle of this situation. What about those people who died?What about the family who grieves because Grandma died after she ate a salad?
This situation does point out the dangers to our food supply. Today's news states irradiation could be used to kill E Coli in foods like lettuce, spinach, and even ground beef. It's been approved by the FDA three years ago. I don't know the details of irradiation, but it seems like a potential technology for this situation.
This very serious post doesn't fit in a series about humor/laughter which I began this morning.
On the other hand, when life gets scary, we need a good laugh to keep us going.
