Cook your food. I realize some people prefer it raw but from what I understand, cooking food kills ecoli. My family has eaten lettuce that has had ecoli reports but we usually thoroughly cook or vegetables.

Can't really cook lettuce...
Parboiled lettuce is nice.

1. Tear the lettuce into large pieces, boil it for half a minute, and wipe off the water.

2. Mix 1 tablespoon each of oyster sauce and water, 1 teaspoon each of soy sauce and sesame oil, put it in the microwave for 20 seconds, and pour it over the lettuce.

A wilted lettuce salad is delicious and my favorite restaurant does a grilled romaine salad that is exceptional but generally I agree with you.
