Disturbing. Did you know 70 percent of the time, ice from fast food restaurants is dirtier than toilet water. A newspaper recently reported: The 12-year-old collected ice samples from five restaurants in South Florida -- from both self-serve machines inside the restaurant and from drive-thru windows. She then collected toilet water samples from the same restaurants and tested all of them for bacteria at the University of South Florida. In several cases, the ice tested positive for E. coli bacteria, which comes from human waste and has been linked to several illness outbreaks across the country. Mike

i recently got a mail. it said a story about a boy who ate food outside and got AIDS.

it seams that a boy in south India ate paani purri from a local street fast food shop. the following week he got sick and was hospitalized.

doctors diagnosed him as AIDS case. no body in the boys' family had AIDS. on enquiring, the boy told that he had food outside.

on enquiring the shop owner, he had a cut in his left thumb. on testing the shop owner, he also had AIDS but still unaware about it.

it was found that on cutting the vegetables, the man had his finger cut and the blood got mixed up with the food.

i almost fainted reading the mail.

i always eat outside. now i am thinking whether to go out or not. its difficult to not eat outside, but we have to stop that practice.

atleast we need to reduce the frequency of eating out. lets all take this case seriously.

good luck!

Well there's a possibility that it might happen, but I don't think you'd have to be that paranoid and avoid the possibility of eating out ever again. You just have to make sure that you're eating at a place that is clean and well-maintained. You could check if they have some sort of certification that the place was well-checked with regards to the cleanliness, and of course that also applies to the way they handle, cook, and serve food. Of course, there's nothing better than self-prepared food. It doesn't have to be fancy, but at least you can control what you put in your mouth. Not only that, you could also adjust the taste to your own liking, most fast foods would probably taste more or less salty than what one prefers.

ive heard that KFC is only called by its initials, because they are not allowed to call it chicken by law, as there is not enough chicken in it....
