A San Francisco-based food company is recalling tofu that might have been tainted with the Listeria microorganism. Listeria weakens the immune system and causes headaches, tummy aches and diarrhea. To this date, no illnesses have been reported.
Tofu, a stackable and somewhat edible food, is known for its healthfulness. Salad is being recalled for ecoli along with spinach. What is going on with health the food industry?
Sure, burgers and soda pop and pumpkin pies and flapjacks smothered in maple syrup and sugared cereal snaps and soda phosphates and French-fried potatoes get the bad rap because they make people fat and lethargic and pretty much ruins their life over a long period of time, but health food is filled with instant death. That is the opposite of what the consumer wants.
How did the tofu and spinach become contaminated? Water supplies became contaminated and mingled with the food. Water, by the way, is the healthiest drink on earth.
In fact, our bodies are 60% water. We are made of so much water that drinking it, to me, seems a lot like cannibalism.
Luckily, food companies seem to be catching these contaminations before they strike, but what the heck is going on?
"Until I get the respect I deserve, I promise to be covered in either cholera or scarlet fever," said some celery, wearing a revolutionist's beret during a recent interview in my imagination.
If you've eaten some tofu and you're worried because you couldn't taste it and you think maybe you've contracted some bug that makes it so you can't taste, don't worry that's just how tofu tastes. Click here if you are still worried, I guess.
