*** 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?



Rumtiger -> RE: E Coli? (12/14/2006 10:29:33 AM)

I was a victim of the spinach outbreak a month  or two ago, and I still eat it now and then simply because its part of what I use for my diet. As for taco bell...well, I wouldent eat it in the first place lol.



Donnalee -> RE: E Coli? (12/14/2006 10:32:33 AM)

I used to eat that raw spinach in the bags all the time....it was great car food, but I just haven't had th taste for it since the breakout.



pinkkeith -> RE: E Coli? (12/14/2006 10:33:48 AM)

I eat at Taco Bell almost every day for lunch. Someone asked me why I'm still going every after the E Coli scare. I told them if I don't go the terrorists have won. [:)]



LuckyAlbatross -> RE: E Coli? (12/14/2006 10:49:24 AM)

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.



JerseyKrissi72 -> RE: E Coli? (12/14/2006 10:51:50 AM)

Yes, I remember the outbreak with the spinach but i can't stop eating it..I use the salad spritz on my spinach, it's delicious..



Lorelei115 -> RE: E Coli? (12/14/2006 10:52:21 AM)

Heh heh. The E.coli is probably the healthiest part of a taco bell meal.



JerseyKrissi72 -> RE: E Coli? (12/14/2006 10:59:59 AM)

hey, i generally eat healthy...Taco Bell is my one weakness...haven't been there since the outbreak though



gardenia100 -> RE: E Coli? (12/14/2006 11:21:50 AM)

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.

Oh, Oh, the little doggie at TacoBell got mixed up into some bad scat play............



Petruchio -> RE: E Coli? (12/14/2006 11:39:32 AM)

I'd do it. I think they finally determined it was in lettuce, not green onions.

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

Let's wash those hands for the count of 30 using soap under hot water, people!

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.



JerseyKrissi72 -> RE: E Coli? (12/14/2006 11:59:18 AM)

I never knew you were suppose to wash the lettuce/ veggies that come pre packaged...my girlfriend told me that you should wash all of them so I now do...maybe that will cut down our chances of getting sick...whether it's milk, beef, lettuce..we just ain't safe[&:]



cjenny -> RE: E Coli? (12/14/2006 12:34:16 PM)

i'm wondering if anyone here has tried that fruit/veggie wash stuff? i see it in the stores and in advertisements but i've never tried it.

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!'



JerseyKrissi72 -> RE: E Coli? (12/14/2006 1:24:07 PM)

I never tried that product used to wash veggies with..I wonder even how safe THAT is..now I just put my veggies/ fruit in a colander and let water run over them for a long time...then cross my fingers and eat them lol



Rumtiger -> RE: E Coli? (12/14/2006 2:03:58 PM)

that dosent kill the bad stuff, last i checked only way to kill e.coli was cooking it above a certian temperature. But simply washing veggies dosent do a thing.



JerseyKrissi72 -> RE: E Coli? (12/14/2006 2:06:02 PM)

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[&:]



lilsubl -> RE: E Coli? (12/14/2006 8:13:19 PM)

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.
