No salad at the national chain grocery today: We're killing each other.

And the farmers will take another hit. But let's keep dropping regulations! They're for sissies!!

1. I ate bag salad last night. 30 mins later severe stomach pain! And wasn't Romaine! ??

3. Bagged salad isn't always the best choice.

I hope you feel better and don't have other issues. I have had food borne illness before, once really-really bad for several weeks (I think that I ingested parasites and it took my body a while to deal with them. No fun being in a meeting and having to excuse myself while hoping that I make a toilet before I pooped myself).

5. I know. But it was the easy choice. A-OK now. Bad gas nite tho! 👃

6. Bad gas night. Been there don't that.

But what can you do, explode?

2. The salad choices at my market were poor.

The bagged ones looked terrible so I bought a butter lettuce plant in a plastic container. At least it tasted good. Tomorrow I need to check other grocery stores. This is a nightmare for stores, distributors and farmers. Heads in govt should roll over this.

4. Yeah. Only spinach and kale mixes at mine.

7. Lettuce soup

I think if the temperature is over 160F for a while it kills bacteria. Supposed to be classic French dish but my Slovak grandma made it too

That is, if you like soup, figure there's nothing wrong with your romaine otherwise, rationalize it by thinking it's the same as cooking a turkey to a safe internal temperature, and can't bear to pitch something you already paid for
