E Coli On the Rampage Again

E. coli On the Rampage Again By Elton Camp Once again, bad cases of sickness from E. coli are seen As before, it’s because our food supply just isn’t clean It’s in animal feces we find these bacteria’s natural location Thus, for them to be found on food should be rare aberration Both all the health authorities and the public should have a fit Because, to be utterly stark and crude, our food has what's unfit This time it appears that vegetables from Europe are to blame, But other foods from various countries have also been the same The solution to this serious problem I am not able to supply But eating changes and preparation techniques we might try Unless vegetables we ourselves carefully grew & protected To eat them without washing and cooking shouldn’t be elected Meats can also be dangerous, especially if they’ve been ground So we can cook them thoroughly, not just until they are browned That the foods we must buy and eat are unsafe we shouldn’t fear Hey there, governments, how about giving us a little help here?
