food poisoning sucks !

Ever ate something that gave you food poising. The pain of your stomach hurting. Running back to the bathroom or throwing up. Having to drink ginger ale because you'll think it would make you feel better.  I bet you have experienced it ! we all have that problem at least one time!  Did you ever think of why the certain thing you ate may have caused you to have food poising. you can get it many ways for example "meat or poultry can come in contact with bacteria from the intestines of an animal that is being processed." Or people who don't wash their hands when the cook. Many types of germs can cause food poising " Campampylobacter, Cholera, E.Coli, fish poising, Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella , Shigella. "About 48 million people contract some form of food poisoning each year, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention."  We need to be care full on what we eat so we wont get sick !

  1. I agree, we always need to be careful of what we are eating and who is handling our food. I feel like a lot of people don't care once it's someone else's food and not their food. When we eat, we need to know where it came from. All the talk of E.Coli and Viruses should scare us into our sense and make sure that we do every little thing to insure that we have a very healthy meal that doesn't involve any sicknesses.

  2. iv'e had food poisoning before it's no laughing matter with the pain that you go through.The sickness bothers you and it doesn't leave anytime soon but now i know why this happened.Due to the carelessness of workers they have been putting poison in our food and letting it reach our system to affect us in the end they eat all the same food as us so why do that to yourself.They should imagine if their children were to get sick now how would they feel.Food poisoning can turn out to be fatal and workers are letting this go by with no care.I agree that we need to be careful so we should find all that we can about these poisonings.http://www.webmd.com/food-recipes/food-poisoning/food-poisoning
    Do you think if the workers were poisoned they would change?

  3. This is true i don't think any body wants to get food poisoning especially off something that they eat everyday . While i do agree that people should be more aware of what they eat Do we really think that they are going to ? I mean i don't think anybody will actually watch what they eat unless they actually experience the poison or something . You hear a lot about this stuff like E.Coli and all that but unless it happens then no one will pay attention that's why so many are dying because they wait to late !

  4. I totally agree with you but it is very hard to be careful of what you eat when our food go through so many processes and a large numbers of hands.There is over 250 known diseases that can be transmitted through the food. mayo clinic staff from mayoclinic.com says that contamination of the food can during any point during the production. So you never know when or if your food is contaminated. Food that is mostly raw or not cooked is most likely to get contaminated. The most ways people get food poisoning is from not properly prepared food and food that had bacteria in it .

  5. Oh my god! This just gave me goosebumps all over my arm and I sort of feel like throwing up because it wasn’t too long ago that I got over my fear of eating Chinese food. It was a while back that I ate Chinese food and that same night I spent it by my toilet throwing everything back up. After that I immediately stop eating at the restaurant and all other Chinese food restaurant because I had a real phobia of getting food poisoning again. I believe that people would rather remain blissfully unaware of the things that occur in their favorite fast food restaurant, and most of the people who are handling their food aren’t preparing it well. According to foodpoisoningbulletin.com, Taco Bell and KFC has sickened at least 28 people with Escolar poisoning in Canada right now in their lettuce. These numbers shouldn’t be be at such a high number at all, and it’s terrifying.

  6. I agree with everything that was said but I'm confused about your viewpoint. What's your viewpoint? This actually put me in deep thought. I think these so called "chefs" need to really check their food before they put it on a plate for a consumer. The consumer has every right to sue the chef for their sickness. The chef can't get upset because you served it to me right? you know you didnt check it yet you gave it to me. I feel this should put more caution on what chefs cook.

  7. I've never ever had food poisoning before. My mom had got it once before and from what I could tell it wasn't something I'd want to experience and luckily I haven't. But based on all this evidence do you think that you will be more careful of what you eat? It really sucks how the one thing that keeps us going is also the cause for sicknesses and sometimes death. Check out this article about a "McDonalds Lawsuit" linked to food poisoning. http://foodpoisoning.pritzkerlaw.com/archives/cat-mcdonalds-lawsuit.html
    I also realize how so many fast food places do heavier advertising for fast food rather than something more healthy. Here's another article that talks more about this topic:
