Zucchini Is Not Spinach
Has anyone ever died from poisoning from contaminated zucchini? Of course not. Zucchini’s natural defenses would neutralize any bacteria or poison that came in contact with it. This is the opposite of spinach, which, as the world has seen, is very vulnerable to death-inducing bacteria.
I’d recommend including a few pieces of zucchini in every bag of spinach to try to counteract any future contaminants. In fact, it might be a good idea just to put a little zucchini in everything that’s not already zucchini. That seems like the only sure-fire way to avoid future incidents like the recent spinach one.
Why go and pull spinach off the shelves when a few pieces of zucchini would:
- Counteract any E. coli
- Greatly enhance the flavor
- Act as a natural preservative
- Draw consumers to the bags with zucchini’s natural magnetism
Seems like an easy choice to me. Come on grocers and retailers, get with it!
