So I was reading this article about a NY City KFC-Taco Bell restaurant that the news filmed rats running around in. The day before the city inspecter had been there and sited them and told them to clean up, but let them stay open! Insanity! I was just thinking about all the times in my life I have eaten out. If a health inspecter in NY doesnt think rats are a big enough problem to close a place down, what do the rest of them think? Are we safe from illness and disease when we eat out? What do you think? Heres the link if anyone wanted to read the story. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/17378700

No we're not safe from illnesses and diseases when we go out. Look at what just happened here in West Hollywood. On February 14, 2007, Valentine's Day, Wolfgang Puck's employee exposed many celeberties and others at the 2007 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit thingy they hold every year. The news media where erging everyone that attended this festivity to have a Hepitites A testing asap! Man! We need to say our prayers at every meal. It's not safe out there... Be careful, be cautious, be safe when eating out.....

That is gross. I know in some places infestations are higher, but you would think they would just be cleaner and stricter! I sometimes takemy kids to McDonals for the playland. I had to crawl in there recently to retrieve my child and it was disgusting! It stunk and was greasy...I lodged a complaint...they should try to keep it cleaner! Thanks for your response!
