The British love to tell the kiddies, "do as your Mum says; wash your hands and eat your veggies". In the states we seem to have put a little more weight on;" brush your teeth and go to bed". But I'm not trying to instigate and international incident. Cause if I was I'd probably add in; "do your homework and practice your violin". (You insert the country) I'm not sayin' anything, I'm just sayin'!
Anyhow, they might have gotten it backwards.Maybe Mum's outlook on life was so rosy she overlooked the real going ons in the fruit and vegetable isle. Recently there have been 16 reported deaths, directly linked to Listeria outbreaks, transmitted from Colorado Cantaloupe. That's scary! I thought upping your intake of fruits and vegetables were suppose to be good for you. That's not just a veggie-tail? Back in '08, 9 people died from salmonella-tainted peanuts. What's up with that? Mr. Peanut not washing his hands with warm soap and water? How about '06 with the big E.coli infested spinach? Popeye! How could you. Could this be the year for Geraldo's come back as he hosts,When Vegetables Attack? If they do it in 3-D, will it be sponsored by Bounty, the quicker picker upper? I'm not sure what's going on but I have had the feeling one of the potatoes in our pantry has been giving me the "stink eye". And I KNOW that banana in the fruit bowl is just waiting for me to slip up. The Iceberg Lettuce? He's the real one to look out for. Yeah, he looks like a real cool character, but there's a lot more going on under the surface, you just don't see. Beretta use to have a saying, "keep your eye on the sparrow". Today he might say, "keep your eye on the Brussels sprout". Hey...................maybe this is an international incident.
