An Ohio woman is revealing the unfortunate side effects of what should have been a simple salad—violent diarrhea after a meal at a local eatery, all in the midst of a nationwide cyclosporiasis outbreak. But before you let the sympathy sink in, let’s ask the glaring questions the corporate media refuses to address. If salad can make you so sick, what about the rest of our food supply?

It’s telling that outlets like CNN are quick to sensationalize individual cases while ignoring the bigger picture. They want to keep you scared of salads, but where’s the deep dive into the supply chains that result in contaminated produce? Fox News isn’t much better—they’ll make this all about personal stories rather than scrutinizing the FDA’s failures to ensure our food is safe.

The underlying narrative here is classic: distract the public with horror stories and keep them consuming. Salad vs. fast food? Don’t be fooled; the latter has its own deadly issues. Both CNN and Fox are simply feeding the narrative that fresh food is unsafe while ignoring systemic flaws in agricultural practices and safety regulations. This is not just a health crisis; it’s a crisis of credibility within our media.

So, the next time you bite into your salad, remember who’s really at fault here, and it’s not just the poor woman in Ohio. It’s the entire food industry, shielded by media outlets that thrive on fear rather than facts.
