*** After hearing all the ecoli breakouts from eating at TacoBell..would you still go there for some eats? I loved TacoBell every now and then for a chicken/ cheese chalupa but now, I won't go...does the recent news affect where you eat?

Status: offline 		Sure.  An outbreak means they will be even MORE paranoid in the future and likely a lot safer than all the other fast food places that haven't been hit.

This could have hit anywhere- the level of mass production of food just can't be tracked and checked for every truckload.

Status: offline 		I'm not any more conserned with Taco Bell's outbreak then any of the rest of them, lets see, there was Burger King, wasn't there a McDonalds a long time ago like 10 years ago, then something with Wendy's somewhere.  Strawberrys fed to the public school kids here in Michigan.  Everyday someone, somewhere makes a mistake in storing, transporting, cooking and handling foods.  Kitchen cleanup, or overall health standards not met.  I see it as a fact of life, people make mistakes.  Sometimes they do it by accident, sometimes trying to cut corners and make a few more dollars.  Guess its your choice to either take the chance and eat what others make and prepare or grow your own and then you know how it was grown, packaged, handled, and prepared.  Now me personally, I'll take my chances, I don't care that much for my own cooking that much to want to eat it everyday.

The implication is that it could have hit almost any restuarant that happened to buy that load of lettuce.

I am about to give up.. I don't eat meat, now it's not safe to eat lettuce..from what I have read that has to do with factory farms...no I can't paste a link, because I read it the last scare and have no clue where it was.
 
I do like Taco Bell, but I can't see eating there since lettuce usually fills up the inside of anything I am able to.  It sort of sucks, to be honest.  I don't normally give up on a place in the beginning, one time..but after that, it's a risk I don't want to take.

PS...you just pretty much take a chance with anything you eat anymore.  This wasn't their fault, so I will possibly eat there again..it's more if someone is in trouble for not cleaning, or something like that..that I don't go back.

http://www.tryfit.com/

with all the reports of workers using the fields as bathrooms, folks that don't wash their hands (??!??) and so many pre-packaged foods simple eating can become complicated! i can just see the next wave of hollywood diets 'i lost 60lbs by not eating food for 2 weeks!'

Status: offline 		It's a shame because when you cook veggies you lose so much of the nutrition from them...nothing better than raw veggies...How about fruit, can't really cook that or milk, cheese....I guess it's just about crossing our fingers and saying a prayer before eating lol

Status: offline 		the main cause of the e.coli outbreaks in the spinach & lettuce is the presence of the bacteria in the irrigation supply...this can be traced to cattle upstream...really doesn't have too much to do with hand-washing or washing the produce, which as RumTiger said does nothing to kill e.coli...life's rife with risk...simply choose the ones you can deal with....

I'm a vegetarian myself, and it is kind of sicking how our produce can be infected with E Coli because of the factory farms. I personally think that the government needs to set some tougher regulations regarding how factory farms are maintained.

I usually eat at Taco Bell since it is the only place where I can get soemthing that is not pasta. It wasn't the lettuce that was the problem, it was the green onions. I haven't heard how this happened, but I'm guessing it is the same as what happened with the spinach.
