So a couple people die and I can't get spinach on my sub sandwich for a month.
In the US, 5000 people die every year from food poisoning and I'm guessing the majority of those are caused my meat contamination. Heck, even the bad spinach was made possible by meat farms.
So WTF? People could care less about the fecal matter mixed in with the dozens of cows in their burger but freak out on leaves? Hey, if they aren't organic you should be
washing them anyways...
Go vegan.
Cows Are Too Nice to Eat
Cows are gentle, social animals. Each cow has the ability to recognize more than 100 other cows, and they form close friendships with members of their herd. Researchers report that cows grieve when their friends or family members die.
