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!

Oh, ME TOO!!!! I am a big PIZZA fan. Can't get enough of it. But I try to stay away from all that stuff bc my hubby puts on weight really easily. He has to really watch himself. That is my only saving grace bc I would eat Pizza every single night if I could!

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!!

My grandmother just called me and told me she had some bagged spinach tonight. She heard the news after she ate it and now she is worried she is going to get sick. I looked up e. coli and the main symptoms are cramps and bloody diarrhea. I told her to go to the emergency room as soon as she feels anything weird. I would suggest anyone else on here to do the same. If you feel sick, don't wait, this bacteria has already killed someone.
