I saw two men in the produce section, shopping. Man number 1 reached out and touched the pre-washed (?) bagged lettuce and turned to his shopping partner, “Is it safe to buy lettuce yet?”
“I don’t think so” answers his friend.
“I miss lettuce”, the first man says, loving caressing the bag like one might touch a long lost love.

Lettuce too? I thought it was just spinach. I’ve been busy - what did I miss? Could they have bought a fresh head and washed it? Bagged breeds bugs, right?

I am sure they could have bought a head of lettuce. It is a terrible time when we have to be afraid of the food we buy.
Having worked in the food industry myself and being married to someone who has worked in manufacturing foods and processing them if we really knew what was going on behind the scenes we would eat very little.

My “business ” was attending the Truro murder trial of Crista Worthington held in the court house in my town- two secounds from our house - on Cape Cod. Even being on national TV lotsa times- as I was sitting behind ‘da guy’ and elswhere. I’m not convinced he did it alone. Twit happens.
Would love to know the ‘grab’s of good and bad foods from a couple of authorities- you two.
