Thursday open thread and headline of the day

Posted by: Sister Toldjah on December 14, 2006 at 2:22 pm

Ok, here it is:

Lettuce implicated in Taco Bell outbreak

The question remains, though: when will Lettuce officially be doing the perp walk?

I should note, for the record, that it looks like the AP has changed the headline of the story to read “Lettuce suspected in Taco Bell E. coli” – much better. The Mercury News’ posting of this AP story still has the original headline up though, as of this writing.

Sorry, I had to have a little fun with the headline writers at the AP :D Usually when you see the word “implicated” in a story or headline, it’s something along the lines of “Man implicated in the death of neighbor” or something like that. Lettuce being implicated, however, is something you don’t read much about as it relates to sinister activity …

Now lettuce all join hands and sing Kumbaya …

Update: Have any of you been experiencing slow loading times for the blogs or times you’ve been unable to access it in the last couple of days? It’s loading very slowly for me this afternoon.

      What’s a vegan to do, when the veggies betray you?

      Well, that’s what happens when you leave produce in the fridge too long. Good vegetables go bad. :d

    6. “We have a nation consisting of a growing number of single individual households – working adults with little time or inclination to cook at home. Additionally more and more overworked Moms and Dads are opting to give their children fast food meals at least once a day. Many of our 20-40 something folks are into healthy living which often includes a preference for eating loads of dark leafy veggies and salads at the local salad bar. How many meals do you eat out daily? Can you afford to trust your very life to just any restaurant? Should you risk eating the fresh produce you purchase at the grocery store? . . .”

      Bob, the tomato from Veggie Tales, was relieved that he had been exonerated.
