That’s it - I’m going back to outsourcing all of my leafy greens consumption. I’ll let the cattle and swine eat it for me, then I’ll eat them!

Smart move, indeed. A minor chance of contact with E.Coli seems more dangerous than documented certain heart disease, cancer, and wait for it.. more E.Coli!

If you read the article, there's a bigger chance of getting E. Coli from greens...
Also, I believe that was a joke.

This is most certainly untrue. All you have to do is consider the fact that all uncooked meats come with a warning. This is because it is well known, and admitted by the meat and egg industries, that raw and undercooked meats and eggs are unsafe for consumption. This is because of the environments they come out of. Greens on the other hand are not fertilized with manure or subject to E.Coli laden environments during processing. The only unsafe greens are mainly things like alfalfa sprouts that can come into contact in the processing chain. I'm surprised at all of the disinformation.

The last big E. coli outbreak in spinach was because of an E. coli laden environment - notably, wild hogs in the field, and then contamination in a washing pool.

> most certainly untrue
Have you read the article? It’s absolutely true, and the article cites many reasons why (hint, the fact that we cook meat is one of them).

"all uncooked meats come with a warning" ... like... literally? There is a warning printed on all raw meat packaging in the US?
