(26,664 posts)Just make sure that everything is thoroughly washed before eating it, especially cold veggie salads. Steam veggies in the microwave, except, of course leafy ones like lettuce.
Be sure that all meats are thoroughly cooked. I would not want to eat rare or medium rare beef in today's political atmosphere. It could be completely cooked without drying it out. Maybe cook beef in a broth or sauce. Or just don't eat beef. Too expensive now anyway.

We are going backwards to the dark ages. No enlightenment. Meanwhile other nations are moving forward, looking for the best scientists and experts. America has decided online trolls, know nothing loud mouth bigots and drug addled rich assholes should lead us.

Sure, put 20-somethings in charge of complex agencies: what could possibly go wrong?

And the one Name of the Game LA 2017 where the earth is poisoned the rich live unground because the air is toxic. Steven Speliberg directed the episode as a joke young director. It is hard to find now but worth it. I brought the DVD of it and it is so relevant to what is going on in our country now and how the rich are destroying it!
