I agree with you 100%.
Also now, when something doesn't taste right to me (especially fresh produce); I just toss it. The frugal person in me doesn't like that; but the health conscious side, does.
No problem with the links...just wanted to post them there, especially a Google one I picked up for update.
And another huge problem is the first person became ill on August 25th and when was the media alerted so they could inform us? I'm not sure of the answer but it was several weeks.
I have not purchased the "pre-packaged" salad mixes for about two years. They just never smelled quite right to me. I much prefer buying the whole heads of Romaine and spinach. I'm even worrying about those now......and we eat fresh salad every evening.
On another topic......RR, Jr. just returned from Istanbul. Said it was more tense there than he has ever seen it. This was his sixth trip in the past two years. Except for his two visits to wood products plants, he stayed in his hotel. He specifically requested a room "off street". A wise decision, I think. Said he would not be going back until things calm down. Our son and my husband frequently travel to places I won't go. I usually stay home and pray alot. We just returned from a ten day business trip to Latvia and Lithuania. No problems there. They are trying very hard to restrict the Muslim immigration that is so common in most of Europe right now. There, they feel the same way we do about the Muslims.
Ready to settle down and enjoy my beautiful Black Hills for a few months.
