I still think the whole grain stuff tastes bad, and I only eat pasta like 4 times a year. So I think I'll stick with the fresh stuff since it means so little in the grand scheme of things. But as always, to each their own healthstyle :) Haha, good question. I still think the whole grain stuff tastes bad, and I only eat pasta like 4 times a year.

I'm just curious how something I grow in my garden is going to have e-coli. I wash my hands, and I wash my leaves. As per the article on whole foods having a higher thermic effect (learned that in nutrition class, long ago) than processed, does this mean you're going to change your attitude wrt whole grain pasta?

He's a respected food safety attorney who defends Americans that get sick from eating industrially produced food. I can see why his statement about growing your lettuce not being a guarantee of safety could sound extreme. But I don't think he was implying that it isn't the best method. Both lawyers and scientist are extremely careful with their words, and I think his point was that there is never a 100% guarantee that a certain food won't make you sick--because that's just life. I think his lawyer brain was just allowing for extreme circumstances, however unlikely they may be. I sympathize because we have to be careful how we describe things in science as well.

For real? I always have to wonder, reading blog posts like that, if the author isn't a corporate shill.

Regarding growing your own lettuce - really a lot more people could do this than do. Lettuce can be grown in window pots or on a porch. Sure, it may not get people through a whole season, but it is better than nothing. Another great week of food links Darya – I love it!
