Looks like the people from Colorado have little-man syndrome.

I would say your state is known for a shitty Macro-brew and John Elway...that's about it. Other than that, most people consider it fly-over country.

Sorry, but you can't know what your state is "known for" if you live in it. Do you really think that diner down the street from you sells "World Famous" pancakes because the sign outside says so?

To be on the safe side it's probably good to just stop eating fruit altogether. That's why I'm a meatatarian.

Ya know that most fruits are eaten raw right? Lets see you eat raw meat without getting sick. :p

Yeah was kidding of course. While this news is quite scary, It is still more common for these issues to happen with meat. Mad cow, etc... Guess the only way around it is to keep on top of it so you know what's safe and not save at a given time.

Are you implying we should actually care about the food we eat? That's downright unAmerican!

Still wouldn't be safe from this disease.

Twenty-one people died in an outbreak of listeria poisoning in 1998 traced to contaminated hot dogs and possibly deli meats

Honestly, I bet more people get sick from bad or improperly prepared meat than from fruits and veggies.
