"At least 49 illnesses have been reported across 10 states, including one death of an older person. Ten people have been hospitalized, including a child who had hemolytic uremic syndrome, a serious complication that can develop from an E. coli infection.

Most of the illnesses are in Colorado and Nebraska."

.

"Most of the people who became ill reported eating McDonald's Quarter Pounder sandwiches, the CDC says.

The agency says that the investigation is "fast-moving" and that information reviewed by the US Food and Drug Administration shows that slivered onions are a likely source of contamination."

Trump gets a job a McDonald's and now we learn their food is killing people. Totally expected.

Watch out for E.coli's nasty brother, Bro-C.coli.

I quit McDonalds many years ago when I earned that they were farm growing high protein worms for filler in their burgers.

That was the rumor a neighborhood father that told us 10 year olds about Wendy's.
He called them Wendy's Worm burgers. I'm 55 now, so that's an old rumor.

Twinpac and A Monson just triggered a memory of a book I read as a kid:

How to Eat Fried Worms

I did say "many years ago" and I distinctly remember it was McDonalds. I don't know if Wendys was around my area at that time because, if they were, I never went to any of their restaurants. I do remember my stomach churning every time I saw those golden arches. I also remember the announcement by McDonalds that they were no longer using what they called "high protein fillers" in their meat products.

I'm sure the scandal has been long forgotten by now. I just never trusted them again.

Now we can believe that Kamala worked there. Trump's time at McDonalds was staged.
