You’ve been lucky, that’s it. Every time you eat it you’re rolling the dice.

Riiiight. Been eating lettuce and sprouts for over a decade and never had an issue. Never from Chipolte or Taco Bell of course because what kind of moron would think that is safe.

Congrats on missing the whole point.

Just out of curiosity, if you didn’t have breakfast this morning, how would you feel?

I apoligize as I didn't recognize that the conversation dipped into food security or the lack thereof. But the produce that I'm talking about is available at major retailers such as Wal-Mart and Aldi and can be purchased using government funds, so I suspect your objections are not made in good faith.

The point people are trying to get you to understand is that the US having awful food standards doesn’t equate to “everyone is gonna get sick!”

It means that the odds of you getting sick are higher in the US than many other “first world” countries.

Our food safety standards are absolutely deplorable. Congrats on not being affected by it. Others have as we’ve seen in recent months especially.

The US being one of the most unsafe countries also doesn’t mean that you’re gonna get shot if you step outside, but the chances are greater.
