US health officials agree lettuce is the culprit for E.Coli
Lately there has been a surge in the number of confirmed cases of E. coli caused sicknesses in patrons of Taco Bell.
The government then stepped in and found that the most likely cause for this outbreak is the lettuce being used in predominately all of Taco Bell's menu items.
Over 71 cases have been reported and 90 restaurants have been closed. Currently Taco Bell says they are in the process of switches produce vendors in an attempt to once again purchase untainted vegies.
Now I've said this before but good lord! Why are we getting tainted lettuce? It's lettuce! By default it should not have E. coli bacteria on it. Maybe the government should take measures to find whatever sick bastards are rubbing dead chickens on all the vegetables and then shipping them across the country? Maybe? I should go to the store, see a potato and think "hmm... has someone had this potato up their bum?" I'd like to entertain the notion that the individuals working to provide fresh fruit and vegetables for general consumption are not depraved cretins nor are they error prone dimwits who just don't know any better. In the case of the latter educate them employers, or fire them, frankly I don't care, but I'm sick of having to worry whether or not my big bacon classic is going to make me sick.
