I never worry about e-coli

Every time I hear of a new e-coli outbreak, I am reminded of how lucky we are to have our local farmers.  Buying local food products allows me the opportunity to become familiar with the source of my food products; to know what goes in and on the products I buy; and the conditions under which it was grown or raised.  Consequently, I am never concerned when I learn of outbreaks of food-borne illnesses in food products from unknown or far-off origins.
