re:Why Aren't We Afraid of Our Food? - 2006/01/01 21:14 "Oh, what a catastrophe, what a maiming of love when it was made personal, merely personal feeling. This is what is the matter with us: we are bleeding at the roots because we are cut off from the earth and sun and stars. Love has become a grinning mockery because, poor blossom, we plucked it from its stem on the Tree of Life and expected it to keep on blooming in our civilized vase on the table."
- D. H. Lawrence

re:Why Aren't We Afraid of Our Food? - 2006/01/02 00:48 Perhaps the CDC didn't mean "CDC *estimates* that 76 million Americans get sick, more than 300,000 are hospitalized, and 5,000 people die from foodborne illnesses each year." and "campylobacteriosis is *estimated* to affect over 1 million persons every year, or 0.5% of the general population."

Do you know more about their statistics than they do?

I looked at the site and considered it to be unbiased as far as I could ascertain in the time. I have no, and still have no reason to believe it's inaccurate.

Going for a walk is 25 x deadly than eating rotting / uncooked meat? - I think you're mad.

re:Why Aren't We Afraid of Our Food? - 2006/01/02 08:57 One estimate against another.

It was the first site on the following search

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=Campylobacter+food+poisoning+statistics&btnG=Google+Search

Try it yourself.

The 5000 you cite, about 50% were intoxicated. there's a lot of difference between walking and walking whilst intoxicated.

My example was "campylobacter food poisoning alone" there are other types of food poisoning as you should know.

CDC estimates that 76 million Americans get sick, more than 300,000 are hospitalized, and 5,000 people die from food-bourne illnesses each year.

http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/diseases/food/index.htm

No. The 76 million Americans that get sick, the 300,000 that are hospitalized, and the 5,000 people die would agree.

re:Why Aren't We Afraid of Our Food? - 2006/01/02 21:01 Food poisoning is more common from meat and dairy. Hepatitis, I guess, may be more common in washed vegetables. (It's the shit in the water!)

re:Why Aren't We Afraid of Our Food? - 2006/01/03 02:44 There are greater risks in day to day life. Walking can't be avoided, eating meat can be.

re:Why Aren't We Afraid of Our Food? - 2006/01/03 22:38 There was no mention of statistics or any issues of relative risk, but as you bring it up:

1% of the USA population get ill with Campylobacter food poisoning alone every year.

http://www.wrongdiagnosis.com/c/campylobacter_food_poisoning/prevalence.htm

I'm sure walking is not a "far greater risk". What do you think?

re:Why Aren't We Afraid of Our Food? - 2006/01/04 00:01 Oh, bullSHIT. It figures a non-parent like you would suck into that kind of weepy, bleeding-heart BULLSHIT.

When my son was a baby, he used to wake up at night and cry, every night. It was apparent that getting him up and bringing him into our bed was a bad long-term solution. We successfully implemented the Ferber method (http://www.babycenter.com/refcap/7755.html#1) of allowing the boy to cry a little bit longer before going in to reassure him. He stopped the crying
ALTOGETHER in about 4 days.

Lesley doesn't know her fat ass from her pimply face about babies or anything else.
