    … How in the hell do you get the shit from eating lettuce?

    Yeah that’s whats bothering me here. Is your diet entirely composed of carbs and protein? Is it the 1st time you have eaten lettuce? How did you survive so long?

    Edit: I have been informed it is due to a parasite and unregulated food standard. Not a diet thing

      The post is referencing the current cyclospora outbreak in the US, where lettuce is the source of a parasite causing diarrhea.

      You know how the US is having an explosive diarrhoea outbreak because they stopped enforcing food standards and now all their produce is contaminated with cyclospora? Apparently Taco Bell’s lettuce is covered in it.

        False positive, they still never found the source. Good thing I can just buy local, and not worry.

      I’m gonna guess you’re not up to speed on US viruses, linked to Taylor Farms lettuce.
