Vegetables bad: "After days of confusion, German authorities finally concluded on Friday that an E. coli infection, which has claimed at least 29 lives, unsettled the nation and thrown European agriculture into disarray, had been caused by contaminated bean sprouts and not, as first was feared, by other produce. But, at a news conference here, Reinhard Burger, the head of the Robert Koch Institute — the country’s disease control agency — said the outbreak was 'not yet over' because 'there will be new cases coming up.'"

I don't know why you'd want to, but if you are eating vegetables, please do me a favor and rinse them very thoroughly before consuming them. They are covered in doody, and will probably give you an antibiotic-resistant strain of E. coli. Better to avoid altogether, or, if this is impossible, bread and deep-fry prior to eating.
