Re: TMI at the checkout today!

I didn’t think people were snarky but just have a different viewpoint...some more than others feel strongly about their diet and lifestyle choices.

Because they are part of an intellectually disabled group that is hired by Kroger to bag groceries. They have been trained to work independently there so there is no one in the bathrooms reminding them to wash their hands. Guess I am the only one who thought this scenario was not good.

Re: Sanitation at grocery store

Come to my grocery store, we have never had baggers. You bag your own and fly the coop. Store is always crowded and everyone wants to get in and out.

Okay, thanks for your thoughts.

 

I didn't know there were many vegetarians posting on the Wellness board.

 

I find both things to be a concern, as I would not want to eat tainted lettuce or meat, no matter how well (or not) it was cooked.

 

Maybe I'm in the minority there.

@QueenDanceALoti agree with you.Our food supply is not safe anymore.Some of my friends grow all of their own and only eat wild salmon  on occasion.They have turned their Whole yard into vegetables,fruit and nut trees.

meat, cheese, milk, eggs which have all sorts of

@sidsmom

 

I saw a thread about tainted meat on the Wellness board not long ago and not many responses resulted, but when the same was posted about romaine lettuce this past summer there were dozens of posts and more than one thread.

 

I wondered why hardly anyone cared about the infected meat but so many were apoplectic about the lettuce.


 

 

 

Maybe people eat more romaine than meat. 

I do. I am not vegan and never plan to be, but I don't eat meat at every meal. More salads. I get my protein from eggs, cheese and seafood. Some poultry.

 

Please no lectures. I have no interest  in plant based eating.


@Ms tyrion2

 

I have no interest in giving a "lecture". I don't lecture anyone about diet.  I simply share my experiences and thoughts (and not even much of that anymore), so I don't know where the "don't lecture me" came from.   I was just curious about the responses to both the meat tainted thread and the romaine tainted one.

 

Even if you only eat meat once a week surely you would be interested in the quality of it.  That's what I would think, anyway.  Only one time could make you very ill, whether it's from meat, dairy, or produce..

 

 

 

 


Sorry @QueenDanceALot.

That last part wasn't aimed at you.

Re: Sanitation at grocery store

I wash everything, and disinfect packaging. Cashiers think I'm nuts, because I leave my cooler bags in the car, and they can't grasp me tossing items into the cart. I wipe everything before putting them in the bags. That better ensures it is all clean while prepping. Washing food is a no brainer. Think about this though. You put a bag of lettuce in the cart, then on converyor belt, then bag, then your countertop and fridge. You then go to prep your food, yuck. So I clean the outside of everything I can and inside once opened. I started doing this due to very hard water. I got sick of washing my hands 50 times ot make a salad. A bit OCD, but it works.
