3. This week's food safety Terror Alert Level is yellow for salmonella on Malt-o-Meal, pieces of glass in Samuel Adams “sparkling” beer, and *gasp!* milk in chocolate covered espresso beans, not because having milk is bad, but because apparently, just as in relationships, hiding it is.
4. Washing Produce Doesn’t Remove Bacteria – So what you’re saying is, we shouldn’t eat...anything! Maybe we should just swallow fistfuls of vitamins and drink soda (because water isn’t safe either).
5. No Surge in Food Borne Illnesses – Then what’s all the fuss above? Conflicting information!
6. Feta Cheese Made from Raw Milk Has Anti-Food-Poisoning Properties – But who’s worried about food-borne illness when all you really need is a Greek salad?

4) I thought the primary purpose was to wash off pesticides? Ah well, I suppose we can just cook all our vegetables...

sunjun, now that i think about it, i guess you're right! i would hope that washing was always just to get that little bit of dirt (which isn't a bad thing) off the fruits and vegetables (not even just pesticides).
