"Leafy Greens: Riskier than beef, says the FDA"
No, they didn't. In fact, the FDA has nothing to say about beef. Why would they? Beef is regulated by the USDA. The article clearly states that leafy greens are the riskiest food that is "regulated by the FDA."
You really should fix that.

Watch out for contaminated leafy greens, green onions and tomatos are gonna getcha too, oh and don't forget about spinach it's no good anymore either. Don't even think about eating beef or poultry. There's a rice shortage, wait no that's wrong, there's no shortage after all. Limit your honey intake, cause we're running out of bees, they're droppin like flys. Don't even get me started about corn and the evil industry behind it. Plus anything that comes from a big corporation is going to kill as well, 'cause all they're about is making money.
So what's left? Slightly bruised bananas and maybe some bagles.
I feel better now...what's for dessert?

Thanks, Erin. Now we need the USDA to come out with their own list, but I won't be holding my breath on that one.
Yes, RossS, it does seem like something different every day, but that doesn't mean that we (or the FDA or the USDA) can't do anything about it. Those leafy greens aren't getting contaminated on their own, you know.
