Class debates =)

Thursday - 31/07/08

Food safety class was hilarious!! we were discussing about bacteria ,its symptoms and how it affects us.. We were discussing about this particular bacteria.. its nasty and i didnt knoe much about it till awhile ago >.< Listeria Monocytogenes
This bacteria causes severe effects to pregnant women. It causes miscarriages or it can be passed from the carrier (mother) to child.. If passed to child, the child would be serverly disfigured or even mentally challenged.. Listeria is found in foods like milk products (it can survive pasteurisation) , soft cheeses, meat and pate. It is VERY dangerous for pregnant women to eat rare meat(DAMN.. sushimi >.<), smoked meat(smoked salmon SHOOTS!) and leftover foods!!!!!

On the note of child disfiguration, we were talking about how alcohol also affects the child's appearance when the mother drinks. My lect was saying that even if the pregnant mother wants to drink, the father of the child cannot stop her.. because it is her decision.. and my class guys went... "BULL!!!" U can always take the drinks away frm her and gulp it all down.. but how much can u prevent a women from drinking? u would be all smashed at the end of the night =X The guys in my class are very sensitive on the issue of women drinking while being pregnant LOL!...
