I'm not obsessed about this stuff either, but that's a far cry from thinking this is not a problem. It is. In fact, that incident is back in the news.
Bu hey, it's a free country. Have at it.
Back in the news, but just more talk about the same 2009 outbreak. Life is full of risks. Most of us drive or ride in cars. Some people ride motorcycles. Some people smoke. I eat homemade cookie dough.
After reading the article, one has to wonder how flour comes into contact with E Coli to begin with. The secret is to make your own cookies from scratch using free-range organic eggs, organic butter and other healthy ingredients. I'm quite certain that you won't get E Coli from that!
OK, gotta share my recipe with all you raw cookie dough lovers: Get a brownie mix that makes a small pan of brownies, like for an 8x8 or 9x9 pan, but bake it in a 13x9 inch pan. Then make up a batch of chocolate chip cookies, using the tiny little chocolate chips and no eggs. Spread that on top of your cooled brownies and drizzle the top with chocolate syrup. No bake cookie brownies are scrumptious. Oh yeah and keep them in the fridge so they stay firm.

That's what has me stumped. We know livestock don't go rampaging through wheat fields, so that's out. If manure were used to fertilize the soil, the bacteria would break down long before harvest. So you gotta figure it's from improper cleaning of the wheat before it's processed, or something that happens in processing, in the grain mill or beyond.

Mom always told me it was the salmonella in the raw eggs we had to worry about. She never let me eat raw cookie dough when I was a kid and I still don't!

Some of us just prefer to be a bit more discriminating and stay as healthy as possible
