For those of you on the East side and Central USA, Whole Foods is having a recall of their ground beef. Ecoli scare, some people already sick. The question is, have you bought any.

I haven't bought any and will make sure I don't. E-Coli is a nasty litte bacteria, I shudder everytime I see someone eat a pink in the middle hamburger.

Lots of strains of E. coli are perfectly harmless, it's only a small minority that cause all the problems. Remind you of anything in SL?

actually even the bad ones don't hurt you if you apply enough heat for an extended period

What are you people talking about?
There's no E.Coli in Second Life.

There's no E.Coli in Second Life. At least not until the Coli last name comes up. |

I don't see what the fuss is all about. E. Coli is natural and organic too, is it not?
So just cook the ground meat with enough natural, organic heat and you should be fine.
Seriously, I like my beef blood rare - but not when it is ground meat. People handle that stuff in the grinding and packing process and who knows what organisms they have left inside it. Wouldn't touch the stuff unless it is cooked through. (Steaks and roasts and stuff, on the other hand, may have bacteria on the outside, where they can be dealt with, but the insides were protected by the animals' natural and organic immune systems during life and not touched by human hands until you cut into them.)
