And people think I'm weird for not eating at fast-food joints.

Well, people think I'm weird in general, but. You get the picture.

Got the link from naturalliving.

Okay, tired now. Bed.

Did I ever tell you about working at Blimpie my senior year? Every day, we actually removed everything from the drink machine and set them to soak overnight, rinsed out the ice holder, etc. My boss told me how to tell if a place didn't do that - eventually, little black flecks would show up in the drinks from the mold that formed.

I've never been in a place where I didn't find black flecks in Sprite.

I suddenly feel good for only buying sealed packages of water with a meal if I must eat in a fastfood place (all in all I try to avoid them like the plague!) Ugh XP

<<Her discovery: Seventy percent of the time, the ice had more bacteria than the toilet water.

Geoff Luebkemann, director of the division for hotels and restaurants at the Department of Business and Professional Regulation, said people shouldn't swear off fast food ice just yet. His state agency regulates Florida businesses, including coordinating health inspections.

"Ice machines are part of the health inspections," Luebkemann said. "There are a lot of factors that have to be considered, like how accurately did she gather and test her specimens. Plus, comparing the ice to toilet water can be misleading because there are acceptable levels of bacteria for water.">>


I read that, and the thought that ran through my mind was: "wow, that guy's an incredibly beaurocratic douchebag!"...I can't stand it when people (especially politicans) downplay safety issues just so that they can make themselves seem "on top of things". Grrr.
