Bagged spinach hasn't been confirmed as the culprit, but it's the only food so far that the victims have had in common. E.coli dies when you cook it, though.
I suspect a lot of people just eat it without washing it
Well yeah, the bags say pre-washed! What's the point of buying pre-washed greens if you're just going to have to wash them again?

EXACTLY!!! I knew pre-washed greens were too good to be true. I hate washing greens but love eating them.
It was bagged, fresh spinach that was of the bad, Aimee. But it's ok if you wash it.
Not sure about that - I think the problem with E. Coli is it needs to be cooked to kill it, and I don't think washing will remove enough of it.

My favorite vendor at my farmers' market has fresh greens and pre-washes them. I rinse them before eating, but I'm grateful to her for doing the hard work. It's cheaper than the bagged stuff, too.
In college, most of my "salads" were: buy bag of stuff, open bag, pour in salad dressing and anything else (croutons, nuts, dried fruit, apple,) hold bag closed, shake, open bag out flat, find fork. Eat salad from bag.

That is DH's philosophy, too. I just don't trust the stuff. But I don't eat a lot of fresh spinach.
BTW - I showed my co-worker some of the pics of O&O, and she said, "Those are two of the most beautiful kids I have ever seen."
Please tell her I said thanks!
Those who have already flown - can we take iPods on the plane? They're not listed on the TSA list I found, and I'm getting annoyed.
From the list, it doesn't look like they're prohibiting any electronics. (iPods aren't specifically, listed, but laptops are.)

Yes. I took my ipod, camera, pda, 2 laptops and 2 hard drives as carry-ons for both my domestic and international flights without problem.
