I think it's time that I give up on buying produce from the grocery store. My husband and I were both poisoned by our produce this week. Don't know if was the lettuce, or the tomatoes, but either way, we both ended up sick.
Luckily, my husband's illness was less severe than mine. I ended up in the doctor's office yesterday. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a wimp. I'm happy to let nature take it's course. But I refuse to suffer into severe dehydration when I can't even take a sip of water without getting icepick-like pains in my abdomen and minutes later dry heaving until the small amount of liquid I've ingested comes back.
So I lost an entire day of work to a bad head of lettuce, or bad tomato. Really makes you scared to think of the many, many things we buy that we have absolutely no idea who is touching them, their cleanliness, or where they are coming from.
Yes, it's time to start my own garden, and buy from local growers until then. Farmers Market, here I come! My health, and my husband's health, are too precious to leave to the sub-standard conditions that are producing food poisoning outbreaks at a record pace.
Hello! I just wanted to stop by and say thanks for visiting and leaving me a comment! I am sorry to hear you were sick... I think more people are going to start growing their own or shop at the farmers markets. It looks like you have a great little helper! I hope you are feeling better! Brenda :)
