Sure ‘nuf, another sh!thole country problem:

Anyone ever seen a recall on bacon or macaroni and cheese?
When I was younger, my sister worked as a pharmacist at some drug store chain. She thought it fairly odd that they sold automobile tires there.
What do parasites have to be worried about?
I can’t think of an easier life.
If I’m going to eat salad, I usually make it myself.
Pre-made salads tend to have too much cheese or freeze-dried bacon (very salty!) in it. If it’s Waldorf, the raisins may be hard and shrunken.
I would not think of buying such a perishable item as leafy salad at a Walgreens. Trader Joes may have a good salad, but at a jacked up price due to low quantities in stock. Trader Joes is similar to Whole Foods in that way.
Produce, particularly greens, is a highly regulated, and very risky business proposition. One sees recalls on a weekly basis.
Profits on handling fresh produce for direct consumption without any further preparation are very low. Prices need to rise dramatically to get the regulatory and health risk in line with the reward.
Parasites are organic, aren’t they?
What’s up with all of the salad recalls lately?
