Have you ever seen an inventory of the things that live on or near the skin of fresh (especially "organic grown") veggies? I have. -- How about the surfaces (inner and outer) of a nice, plump, farm-slaughtered chicken? -- Just use some informed common sense, good refrigeration, and reasonable preparation technique. -- Pick _any_ food you choose, and I'll find a way to bash on it, for nutrition and/or sanitation concerns, that will absolutely make you want to barf all over your terminal before you read a screenful. -- Let's not get into bashing or viewing-with-alarm (leave that to the politicians 8-).)
