Alfalfa sprouts are the new tomato scare, huh?

Apparently so; it looks like the FDA issued a warning to consumers overnight after 100 people in 6 states fell ill from salmonella-contaminated alfalfa sprouts. They are saying it is an extension of the sprouts-related salmonella outbreak that occurred in February and March of this year. If people insist on eating alfalfa sprouts, they should consider growing their own at home.

They aren't difficult to grow, and this can prevent the grower-grocery-consumer trail of potential bacteria growth on the sprouts. That being said, I don't really understand the appeal of alfalfa sprouts; they have the texture of hair and no taste, and their health benefits are greatly exaggerated by people. In fact, one of the amino acids sprouts contain, canavanine, can be toxic when consumed in large amounts.

There are plenty of other good tasting fruits and vegetables out there that are as good, if not better, for you than alfalfa sprouts.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
