Think my husband will buy this?

the listeria thing is such bullshit.  
here is a short list of things that have had listeria outbreaks in the past few years:
hummus
frozen spinach
prewashed lettuce
ice cream
sprouts
cantaloupe
sour cream


notice on here there are NO lunch meats.

Agreed also I will never give up ice cream

i'm not giving up any of it.  i don't really eat lunch meat much so it's not an issue.  but basically nothing is safe!

My doctor was more concerned about the nitrates in lunch meats than listeria. That's why I haven't been eating it (often).

Well if sushi isn't causing listeria, then BRING IT ON!!!!

I heard about this the day AFTER I had eaten some dole salad. I was freaking out until I got home and realized that mind was made at a different facility than the one with the outbreak, but I still threw it out. Guess I'll be making my own salads from now on!
It really does feel like we can't eat anything. lol. Eat this, you could get listeria. Eat that, you could get mercury poisoning. Eat too much of this, you could end up looking more like a beached whale than a pregnant person. SO MANY RULES!

That is why you take those rules and chuck them out the window. Seriously. Eat from safe reputable place, eat foods in moderation, stay away from crack, cocaine, pot, heroine and alcohol (that is a different debate all together )

Thank you!! Don't live in fear! My high risk doc and Emily Oster ("Expecting Better") support your sentiments. Eat your italian subs in peace.
