I can get behind that.

Not RIGHT behind, of course. Out of splash range.

How do you avoid it? Is there an easy list? I want the same for private equity.

Go to your local farmers market and buy lettuce from and support local farmers

We have a Gotham Greens grow house in my city, and I know they have operations in several areas. They only sell in markets they grow in, so the produce never has to travel far. I'm sure there are similar operations scattered across the country. But if you can, farmers markets are where it's at.

Why would you write contaminated with parasites twice?

I'm growing my own.

But I have space for a large vegetable garden. Because I'm a rural weirdo. Not everyone has that space but more importantly, gardens take work, and time, and yes, money. Someone who is working two jobs to keep an apartment isn't going to have time to take care of a garden, even if they wanted to. We were supposed to have a society that allowed for people to do jobs other than agriculture.

I propose a federal agency that is tasked with inspecting drugs and food in the US to make sure they're safe. Wouldn't that be cool.

Yeah, turns out growing crops is hard

My parents keep a large garden. Used to be my grandparents', who relied on it for half their food.

It's a lot of work. It's worth it where I am cause vegetables at the supermarket are often so full of pesticides they taste like gasoline. It's literally a problem money can't solve. But man is it a lot of work... I don't know what will happen when they get too old to do it anymore. I'm not sure I can do it.

Lettuce actually grows pretty easily.

Now you aren't going to trivially have enough to be a staple of your diet or anything, but if lettuce at the store is a problem, you could at least have a few leaves to add some to a few dishes while the issue is worked in the supply chain.

My kid just has a single lettuce plant and pulls a few leaves off to eat with something once in a while. It doesn't need much active care or anything.

At one point my kid had an indoor hydroponic garden going that offered up a bit more vegetation to eat, but keeping that thing maintained was a hassle.

They are literally doing that right now and making America worse again

Most people handle the infection easily. Its dangerous to the immunodeficient, infants and the elderly.

The main risk is from dehydration. So the first recommended treatment is over-the-counter anti-diarrheal medications and drinking lots of fluids.

If it lasts for more than a week or you suffer from symptoms of dehydration (clammy skin, dizziness, not peeing etc) you'll need to seek urgent medical care. Someplace that can give you an IV.

Not a medical DR, I just play one occasionally for shits and giggles. So this could be correct or a bunch of bullshit.
