These health inspection videos are a real eye opener.

Meat Inspection

If you eat meat, it’s best to buy locally. Not all meat are inspected nor are they shipped in refrigerated trucks. If these trucks get into accidents, the meat can sit for hours. Unfortunately, most meat that have been in accidents are not thrown away afterwards because of the lack of health inspectors needed to catch these types of mishaps.

Bagged Salad

Pre-washed salads do not kill e-coli. If there are any cow manure left in the fields at the time of harvest, the salad can get contaminated. Also veggies and salads served in restaurants are the most unsanitized and unsafe dishes to eat. They are often prepared by workers who do not wash their hands after they sneeze or who have been in the bathroom.

Lemon Slices in Water

Do you think lemon slices have enough acid to kill bacteria? According to a microbiologist who tested the lemon slices in 21 restaurants, about 77% of those tested were found to contain some degree of staph and fecal infections. And dropping these lemon slices into the water actually contaminated the water.

Think Drinking Water From a Public Fountain or Office Water Dispenser is Safe?

About 97 public drinking fountains were tested. All were found to contain some form of bacteria, such a E-Coli, yeast, and streptococcus. Running the water for 5 seconds did not help and actually increased the number of bacteria in some cases (probably due to the dried bacteria secretions). The office dispensers were not tested but a microbiologist warned that could be degree of contamination.
