Are all these e-coli breakouts changing your dining out habits?

What doesnt kill you ,make you stronger. That's my motto anyway. You are better off not knowing whats crawling over your food as you'd never eat anything. There's more food poisonings in the home than in restaurants.

i have always been wary of eating out, it cant be that hard to get people to wash their hands surely? Yet it seems to be an increasing problem maybe stiffer fines for breaches of regulations, but i really dont know, human stupidity seems to have an endless capacity

I saw that on the news. I never liked Taco Bell's food anyways. I definately won't eat there now! I know bad things go on at restuarants, but until they are outted in the news I choose to act oblivious to it!

Actually what it does for me is make me determined to grow more of my own food at home next year. I had a nice garden full of mostly volunteer plants this year. First time I have had a garden in a long time.

not all the restaurants are like that, some have such bad incidents to tackle with...but others are quite safe to eat...but the safety is not as so much as in house food, and definitely eating at home is the safest...

We have not been eating out much because lately we just can't afford it. I have been more careful washing vegetables at home, though. Plus I buy less of the vegetables that are showing up as culprits. They seem to have centered the problems mostly on California vegetables. Also they noticed that there were farms closer to where they had animal raising farms where the ground water was not properly disposed of after being in contact with animal manure, then it was used to water the vegetables. Mostly I think it is a matter of treating your home fruits and vegetables with more care. Funny we always worried about meat contamination but we never worried about vegetables much like we have to now.

Sort of. I'm glad now we went to BK not Taco Bell the last time we were in a nearby town. I don't think it is the restaurants fault though.
