As much as peanut butter and salmonella and the FDA and food poisoning have been in the news, you would think I'd have known that the eminent food-safety blog in the country is based about an hour from Kansas City in Manhattan, Kansas.
Barf Blog is run by a Kansas State associate professor of food safety named Dr. Douglas Powell. Of course, it makes sense that Kansas State has an excellent food safety blog, because it is home to the equally excellent and influential International Food Safety Network.
In addition to providing updates on the salmonella outbreak, Barf Blog has been giving out consumer tips like the top 10 kitchen crimes.
Number one was hand-washing -- more specifically, not washing hands for at
least 15 seconds. Number nine was my personal pet-peeve: Using dirty
dish towels. (Air dry people!)
The main point of the blog and the entire IFSN is to keep people from
getting foodborne illnesses. If you're going to get ill from food,
might as well do it in a hospital -- or at least a hospital-themed
restaurant like this one in Latvia.
Leave it to those crazy Latvians to combine humans' love of food with
their deep fear of hospitals. According to the blogger who visited the
place, it's owned by doctors and run by "long-legged waitresses in nurse
uniforms."
Maybe getting sick isn't so bad after all.

I saw Bill Geist go here on CBS Sunday Morning. Their schtick is that they sell absolutely nothing that is healthy. I think non-filter Luckys are even for sale.
