This is rich

So the food police went looking for the usual suspects in food poisoning and caught a vegan red-handed brandishing a lettuce leaf:

The new report is the most comprehensive CDC has produced on the sources of food poisoning, covering the years 1998 through 2008. It reflects the agency's growing sophistication at monitoring illnesses and finding their source.
What jumped out at the researchers was the role fruits and vegetables played in food poisonings, said Griffin, who heads the CDC office that handles foodborne infection surveillance and analysis.
About 1 in 5 illnesses were linked to leafy green vegetables — more than any other type of food.

 It would be nice if these tiresome people would button up their pie holes, but don't count on it.
