Generally, spinach is a great food choice. So far I think 2 have died and about 140 become sick from the e-coli bagged spinach. Based on news coverage you’d think it had killed 2000 people. Assuming that the exaggeration of the spinach risk leads to less consumption and a health *cost* associate with that, I bet the spinach scare will kill more people than tainted spinach when you factor in the (very slight) increase in illness associated with eating less vegetables.
What’s for dinner?
TripAdvisor’s top ten fall destinations are:
1.Munich, Germany
2. Napa Valley, Calif.
3. Montreal, Quebec
4. Asheville, N.C.
5. Woodstock, Vt.
6. Vancouver, Canada
7. Lake Placid, N.Y.
8. Camden, Maine
9. Mystic, Conn.
10. Aberdeen, Scotland
It seems like a funny list to me. The Fall color of USA is well represented at Woodstock, Lake Placid, and Camden and a trip to the Northeast USA in fall is impossible to beat for spectacular foliage IF your timing is lucky. Mystic and Napa are charming and Montreal and Vancouver are very cool places. Haven’t been to Asheville but I’m sure it’s nice. Munich an obvious choice for Octoberfest. Not sure about Aberdeen.
But as long as they’ve decided to include the entire world it seems like a reasonable person is going to pick London, Paris, Rome, Prague, a city in China or Japan, etc, etc over, say Asheville or Mystic or Lake Placid.
I think these silly lists tell you more about the person composing them than travel.
