I'm just as guilty! I'm the main salad eater in my family although occassionally my hubby and youngest will eat one. The bagged salad greens were more convenient and less "wasteful" for me. But I always noticed when I bought the bagged salads, they "spoiled" after 3 days if it wasn't eaten all and I'd throw it away. Now, I get the full heads of lettuce, wash it and drain it, and to help keep it crisp, I put a folded paper towel in the bottom of my bowl....the water continues to drain a little bit, wetting the paper towel which, for some reason, will help keep the lettuce crisper! And it lasts longer than the bagged. I just break off what I need for a salad when I want one. I feel better using the heads of lettuce now instead of those bags - my health and the health of my family is more important.

I agree. I would never sacrifice my health for convenience. Wait a minute....ok, maybe sometimes I do, like when I go to fast food restaurants!

BREAKING NEWS!! New York is now the 11th state confirmed with this e.coli outbreak. I work in a hopsital setting and this "bug" is bad news. Please, if you have any bagged salad in your fridge, whether it's spinach or regular salad greens - throw them out!!! Your health is more important!!
