    Sad Fast food ice DIRTIER than toilet water

    Jasmine Roberts never expected her award-winning middle school science project to get so much attention. But the project produced some disturbing results: 70 percent of the time, ice from fast food restaurants was dirtier than toilet water.

    The 12-year-old collected ice samples from five restaurants in South Florida — from both self-serve machines inside the restaurant and from drive-thru windows. She then collected toilet water samples from the same restaurants and tested all of them for bacteria at the University of South Florida.


    In several cases, the ice tested positive for E. coli bacteria, which comes from human waste and has been linked to several illness outbreaks across the country.

    I would love to see this study performed at the top 5 "swanky" establishments, as well. I'm betting the results would be quite similar.

    ok, i personally wouldn't be suprised... but we're all basing this on the results of a science project by a 12 year old. now granted, jasmine might be a bright KID. but, no offense to her, i think id like more of a professional study. and maybe ranging a little farther north and west of just southern florida before i swear off all fast food ice....

    having said that, i never eat fast food. haven't for years. can't stand the crap. :-P but im a little skeptical of such results by a 12 year old being recieved as fact accross the board

    Eh, E.Coli is everywhere.
    Never stand begging for that which you have the power to earn.

    And you think that is any worse than traditional, non-fast restaurants? What do you think of self-serve salad bars?

    Servers and cooks usually do not follow standard fod handling procedures set up by county health departments. Though authorities do make inspections, they usually cannot be there when food is actually handled. Further, many people don't read those newspaper reports. They should be put up in local-oriented sites on the internet at least.

    BTW, I think that kid deserves a hero award.
    I loved going to strip clubs; I actually made some friends there. Now things are different for the clubs and for me. As a result I am not as happy.

    Customers are not entitled to grope, disrespect, or rob strippers. This is their job, not their hobby, and they all need income. Clubs are not just some erotic show for guys to view while drinking.

    NOTE: anything I post here, outside of a direct quote, is my opinion only, which I am entitled to. Take it for what you estimate it is worth.

    Off topic BUT the reason people get "addicted" to McDonalds fries is because they have beef in them... read that in "Fast Food Nation"... guess there was a big to do about it from vegetarians who got mad when they found out...

    years ago, my stepbrother worked at mcdonalds, and he told me that there were roaches in the bottom of the ice container. Since then, I never get my drinks with ice... anywhere. really though, I just need to stop with the fast food all together
