I would. $100 is worth it.

But normally I would never eat spinach in my salad anyways. Spinach = Nasty

better hope you never go to a restaurant that serves mixed field greens in your salad... most mescalin mixes contain spinach (sp on mescalin?)

I ate a whole large bag of fresh spinach the week after everything was announced. I'm fine. :p Though mine came from a different brand grown in a different part of Cali than the one CNN cited as being the source of the problem. I was kind of sad when I went into the grocery store Sunday and there was no spinach. :(

Ya... I probably would. Ecoli? Pfffft... big deal. :p The actual chances of me getting sick would be rediculously low.

spinach dip is diferent.

spinach dip typically contains a processed spinach, that the FDA is NOT worried about at all, its cooked at the plant, checked, then frozen, and then reheated at the restaurant anyways.

Just think of all the people you could tell. And she would certainly leave proof on your lips.

Just think of all the tapes you could sell. And she would certainly love her time between your hips.

Aww, thanks!

Too bad all that money will be gone into medical treatment...

Dude, for $100, I'd eat a bag that was proven to be contaminated.

I can eat anything. I remember I ate some pork that got my family sick, but I was hungry and finished it all off. I was fine. Happened again with some chicken that they thought had some salmonella on it. Eaten.
