Recently, I read a news about listeria deaths in the US (see the BBC News here ). What's a listeria or listeriosis? It's a food poisoning caused by consuming foods contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes bacteria (for full technical explanation read WebMD article here ). What made me write this post? It's just that, as far as I can remember, I watched a morning TV show where they featured a Cow Farm. You know, they do this to amuse the viewers, typically to gain viewers' rating and also, to advertise the cow farm's business. So a farmer there teaches the TV host how to milk a cow. As the host successfully milked the Cow, he tasted it and drink the fresh product he just milked. So, I thought that was just fine and okay. I'm not recapping the old school days of teachings in Home Economics about pasteurization. In the High School I attended, they never emphasized the danger of drinking an unpasteurized milk or any unpasteurized dairy products. We are just taught...
Food, travel, news, society, and anything in life.
