now tomatoes

hmm ... i love spinach and now it is off my grocery list for a while and now tomatoes! i can avoid not eating in a restaurant, but not shop for them as part of my diet that is just going too far. most of the veggies i do clean them and then cook them. i rarely eat raw salad bowl if i do i triple wash them even if they do come in a bag that said prewash ... i don't really trust those packaged veggies. whatever are printed on the packages you still have to clean it ... don't be lazy because food poisoning is no fun.

i had food poisoning a couple of times and it all came from eating meat product i bought from carl's jr. (it was always from the same place. the one located on santa monica blvd before 26th street. the carl's jr i go to often was inside campus of USC and i had no problem there.) it was an immediate reaction after 30 minutes to an hour after i ate ... my stomach cramped up and i was forcing myself to vomit all the bad stuff. after 2 hours of going back and forth to the bathroom vomiting i felt much better. i just drank a bottle of water to stay hydrated and just went to bed without anything else. the whole experience was exhausting. so better be safe than sorry ... laziness just doesn't cut it.
