whig, you won’t get an argument from me there. I wash the (expletive) out of all my green leafy vegetables. Who knows; it might even help.

The waste run-off from the factory farms is infecting everything. Grain feeding is a known health hazard and needs to be stopped, as that is the only way of eliminating the E. coli variant that is causing the problems. Antibiotic application only guarantees a nastier version will develop.

Spinach is no safer, Steve.

It occurs to me that depending on the method of infection, other kinds of pizza may also be at risk. I have several in the freezer, but all were bought a couple of months ago… and they don’t have pepperoni on them.

I long for the old days when one could at least imagine the food supply was safe. Maybe it wasn’t, but we only occasionally heard about the problems we seem to hear about every week or two these days. I hope all you carnivores are burning your hamburgers to a crisp; I’d hate to lose any of you.

Maybe they are concerned about being sued if it turns out to be something else, but the pepperoni seems to be their guess.

They’re not naming names.

That is possible. It’s also possible the people handling the finished product also handled the raw hamburger without changing their gloves or aprons.

If the pepperoni is the problem, we need to know who made the pepperoni.

a guess: they sliced the cooked pepperoni with contaminated machinery.
