Look what was on Yahoo this morning

[Guest guest]

My friends now think I really am nuts!!

The title of the story was " Foods that can make you sick " .

Sprouts were number 10.

Here's the paragraph re: Sprouts

--------------------------------------------------------------

" While sprouts are practically the poster child for healthy food, they can also

be vulnerable to bacterial contamination.

The seeds used to produce the sprouts can be contaminated in the field, and

water and warm growing conditions that encourage germination can also boost

bacterial growth.

The FDA and CDC recommend that the elderly, young children, and those with

weakened immune systems avoid eating raw sprouts. "

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Now really!!!

Hmm, no surprise. Methinks I'm among the elderly but my immune system is

fine and I will continue to eat sprouts as I know others will too!

As Roseanne Roseannadanna used to say " Well, Jane, it just goes to show you,

it's always something! If it's not one thing, it's another! "

At least that's the first quote to come to mind to succinctly address this,

LOL! So, if it's not this, it would be something else to thwart or

discredit sprouting, don'cha know?

Thea, Thank you for that wonderful memory. Another quote I loved was, " Never

mind " .

Yep, I love the " Never mind " quote equally as much. Both of them are apt

quotes worthy of using in many situations!

Although there's been some good SNL players since the 70's, I would say that

first group (Curtin, Radner, Belushi, Ackroyd, et.al) are unparalleled!

Glad you liked the brief trip down memory lane.

Carolyn,

Alfalfa is a member of the pea family. It is not a grass. It is the number one

plant grown in the world. Maany used for animal food.

Re: Look what was on Yahoo this morning

I guess alfalfa is a type of grass as is wheat grass. i don't know if I'd like

wheat grass, but I sure love the alfalfa sprouts. They have such a fresh

wonderful taste.

I am not sure what that does.  The things go up and down the sides and make a

lot of noise.  Does that water the trays?  Does it just work for a short while

to water them?

3rd cousin, twice removed.

Re: Look what was on Yahoo this morning

I always think of alfalfa being used for animal food and I figured it was a

thing like wheat grass or some big tall stuff. With sprouts I never have seen

them grown as I eat them before then. i wouldn't know an alfalfa field if I saw

one. Thanks for telling me it is related to the pea family. Sure are tiny seeds

and I'd never have thought of peas as a relative.

I do a bit of geneology and I have to really think about it to figure out how

many removed, etc. and who is 2nd or 3rd cousin.  First cousin once removed is

often referred to as 2nd cousin but isn't.  I was born in country but moved to

city when i was young.  But come from country people.
