I declared this week in my introductory nutrition class food safety
week. Monday they heard about the rogues' gallery of bacteria and
viruses that can cause food poisoning. Yesterday we discussed practical
stuff on how to keep the holiday turkey and trimmings safe from the
aforementioned bugs, and I introduced them to the King County (that's
Seattle) restaurant inspection report website. Today, with the chapter
in Fast Food Nation about the Jack in the Box E. coli outbreak of 1993
as a backdrop, they had to figure out how we could make the federal web
of food safety regulations more tightly woven. Even some of the
quieter, less curious students chimed in on the discussion. Apparently
these had an effect on some of the students. They went home and spread
the word about food safety to their families. Sometimes a teacher can
make a difference.

To all my RFC friends, may your turkey remain unstuffed and all of the
trimmings be safely prepared, cooked, and stored.
