You might want to think twice before getting a lemon wedge in your drink: More - http://www.northjersey.com/news/health/YouTube_rockets_scientist_to_fame.html [yt=The Lemon in Your Drink Study]qeye8wnBJoU[/yt]
Some Denny's employee not washing his hands is the reason it's so hard to get a rare hamburger in this country anymore...
This sentence implies that nearly 70 percent of lemon wedges have fecal bacteria, but a later sentence makes it pretty clear that there was just one instance of that. Sloppy writing. Given how many viruses and bacteria we come into contact with on a day-to-day basis -- that's what we have immune systems for, folks -- this smacks of what a friend of mine once called "smell the fear" reporting.
Yep. I'm absolutely, positively sure that it has nothing to do with the bacteria swimming around in uncooked hamburger. Nothing at all. It's all because of racist, evil-corporation Dennys. Mmmmhmmm.
I don't read it that way. The phrase about fecal bacteria is properly offset by commas. Regardless, I'd still prefer if the food handlers washed their hands at least once in a while.
I think it's more the corporate feedlots where beef cattle swim in their own shit and are fed huge amounts of antibiotics in order to be healthy, resulting in interesting strains of antibiotic resistant bacteria. And the corporate slaughter houses that process unfit cattle. And corporate distribution. Corporate retailers and restaurants, less so; they're smart enough to burn the meat or post a disclaimer. Not to forget or forgive the american consumer who lives on this drek. Steak tartare anyone?
