Bad beef

The American Food Groups of Green Bay recently recalled 96,000 pounds of beef products after two people got sick, possibly from E. coli bacteria, according to an article in the New York Times.

GROSS.

I don't know what to say to that. After the bagged spinach scare during the summer, I must say, I'm over this whole E. coli thing. I don't know how much more beef I want to eat in the near future, which is sad considering I'm having hamburgers for lunch on Friday.

Watch out readers, if you live in Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland, Ohio, Tennessee, Virginia and Wisconsin, because all those states were distributed recalled beef.

E. coli is a leading cause of foodborne illness, and infection often leads to bloody diarrhea (EW!) and kidney failure (boo). Neither of which I want. Be careful, friends, be careful.
