me: what was the food poisoning from?
jonesy: spinach
me: is there some sort of "thing" going on with it and salmonella?
jonesy: it is the #1 agricultural product to cause salmonella poisoning
jonesy: because they fertilize it with shitty water, so fecal bacteria gets on the leaves
jonesy: thanks, corporate farming
me: note to self: wash spinach extra good
jonesy: I'm just not gonna eat it. Switch to broccoli!!
me: but but biceps!
jonesy: Popeye was from a more innocent time
me: broccoli is fascinating, because it and several other vegetables are just different parts of the same plant, just bred to enlarge one part.
jonesy: what!!!
jonesy: you are destroying my understanding of nature
jonesy: I thought they just grew like that, cut-off stumps just directly on top of the dirt
me: I'm about to blow your mind
me: same species: broccoli, cauliflower, collard greens, cabbage, brussel spouts.
jonesy: wikipedia article or it didn't happen.
me: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brassica_oleracea
jonesy: oh shiiiiiiiiiit
