I'm sure most have heard about this tainted spinach issue and how people are dying and getting sick from eating e.coli tainted spinach. (source for the recluses).
So it got me thinking; how bad would you feel as a parent had you forced your child to eat spinach that turned out to be tainted and either made them sick or killed them, after they had protested that they did not want to eat the spinach?
I wonder what Popeye would think of this? Perhaps e.coli is his kryptonite.
Scenario:
Parent: Eat your spinach, it's good for you.
Kid: I dun wanna! It's yukky and makes my tummy feel yukky!
Parent: Eat it or I'll make you eat it!
Kid: *Reluctantly eats spinach*
Kid: *Gets sick*
Parent: Quit your damn faking, you're grounded and you're going to eat a whole plate of spinach!
- A few days pass -
Kid: *deathly ill*
Parent: *reads the news about tainted spinach*

One of the symptoms of e.coli is bloody diarrhea. So how's that going, Eldy?
The night before that story broke, we had eaten a bag of baby spinach purchased the weekend before.

And no, I wouldn't feel bad if my kid died because who wants a weak child who can't take a little bug?

Nothing tastes better than e-coli coming out.
Or so scat enthusiasts tell me.

I had some yummy Italian Wedding soup yesterday that had spinach in it. I thought briefly of e.coli, then ate it anyway. It was delicious.
The story I read said if you cook it to 160, you're good.

As mentioned if cooked the e.coli would be dead.
All the spinach up in my part of Canada is also off the shelves and out of restaurants. They get it from the same people it seems.

Ironically, isn't the number of total infected people around 160? The whole soggy factor ruins spinach for me. I love to make salads with half romaine/spinach, cooked it does nothing for me. Also, it loses lots of nutrients in the process.
Edit: God my brain is scrambled today. I cannot form coherant, readable paragraphs that don't jump all over the place. I suck.
Metaphorically speaking.
