Alternate solution: do not announce small foodbourne illness outbreaks. In the article's example, 250 people got sick from a lettuce outbreak, and everyone stopped buying lettuce, hitting the whole industry. But 5 million people get sick from Norovirus alone in the US every year. Leafy vegetables like lettuce are the most common source of food illness. Telling people about a minor outbreak is just letting them freak out for no good reason. We should be educating people better about foodbourne illness so they can respond without freaking out, and so they don't get sick so damn much. And the media should stop freaking people out. 250 people out of 350 million getting sick, and not even dying? It's a minor risk! 35,000 die in traffic every year, and these people are freaked out by some lettuce. Take a fuckin chance, would ya please? ▶ this video
