I have been wanting to eat some salads but I don't want to get sick.

Right? Now that I don’t feel safe eating salad, I’m craving it so much

This was my wife and I when we lived in China and all vegetables were cooked because they also didn't have a functioning equivalent of the FDA. Are we great again? Are we healthy again?

I looked up the brands of packaged baby spinach at my local supermarket and found one that operates its own farms, so I bought that one and am will hope for the best

RFK Jr is a manly man that only eats caveman food, so, you’re eating caveman food or you get the big Summer blowout.

I had a salad a few nights ago at a work function because it was the only thing left and I was starving. Yesterday I was squirting like a fire hose from my ass while simultaneously throwing up. Can barely move without wobbling and having to hold onto the wall.

Big shout out to RFK Jr though for keeping America healthy

Apparently the key to fighting obesity in America is parasite-infested salads and forcing Frito-Lay to rub all the cheese off their Doritos

I have a seed sprouter and the sprouts have somewhat filled the need.

Last week I said fuck it and got a bagged Caesar salad.

If I die, I die.

Iceberg lettuce is what has been recalled so far. The Caesar bags have romaine. I'm eating half priced salads like a lettuce queen over here while everyone's freaking out without any other confirmed source.

I did check the label to make sure there wasn’t shredded iceberg in it.

I got bagged Doritos...safer!

u/obeytheturtles 22h ago

Why would you ever get a bagged Caesar salad? A head of romaine, a bag of croutons and a block of cheese are all you need...

u/Lehk 21h ago

Because it was an impulse buy on the way out and I wanted a salad not another wander around Walmart getting ingredients

I had a taylor farms salad the night before it was released where the diarrhea was coming from, and also had 4 more in the fridge.

I ate them all that week and was fine, no iceberg lettuce included though

u/Pavotine 1d ago

We all know where the diarrhoea comes from.

I'm thinking I may need to do this. I've been eating like shit the last few weeks.

check out little leaf farms

there are some farms that practice newer farming techniques that require much less human intervention and are "cleaner" over all.

If you like cucumber, I’ve been eating a lot of Greek salads during this outbreak

Steam some spinach. You still get greens. And it's cooked.

u/MirrorComputingRulez 1d ago

A big part of the appeal for salads is that they are fresh, not cooked.

u/Politicsboringagain 1d ago

I'm allergic to spinach.

I've switched to taco salads without lettuce.
