Organic or not?

Romaine lettuce is unsafe to eat in any form, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Tuesday in a broad alert in response to a new outbreak of illnesses caused by a particularly dangerous type of E. coli contamination.

The CDC told consumers to throw away any romaine lettuce they may already have purchased. Restaurants should not serve it, stores should not sell it, and people should not buy it, no matter where or when the lettuce was grown. It doesn’t matter if it is chopped, whole head or part of a mix. All romaine should be avoided.

Oh no and say it ain't so. Romaine is one of my favorite types of lettuce.

they say ANY because they haven't pinpointed a source yet I would err on the side of caution as I'm not ready to go to the hospital, lose my kidneys or die...I'm sure it's just a couple of days until they figure out where it's from

It's bitter and it sucks anyway. Green leaf, red leaf, or good old delicious iceburg.

In Cali Brown has them irrigating with waste water while clean water goes down the river.

even my rabbits wont eat iceberg

I just eat some. Am I going to die?

Me too, I feel great, keep dancing!

The CDC alert, issued just two days before Americans sit down for their Thanksgiving dinners, reported that 32 people in 11 states have become sick from eating contaminated romaine. Of those, 13 have been hospitalized, with one patient suffering from a form of kidney failure.

Make it a habit to soak all your vegetables for 15 minutes in apple cider vinegar then rinse briskly. Helps strip the coatings they spray it with to make it look good as well.

No problem there! Replace the lettuce with BAY-KEN!

Good advice.

Keep on eating shit vegan.

Do you not know that shit is organic.
That is what they grow your organic food in.
In many places dairy farms put all the cow dung in a pond then spray it on your organic foods to fertilize it works great shit grows like crazy.

I prefer pure mineral nutrients fed only to the root zone of plants. Hydroponic.

Not trying to be funny, being rather honest. Could this be due to all the illegals pooping in the lettuce fields while they pick?

Awesome, I had salad with romaine yesterday. Lettuce see what happens! (See what I did there? )
