E-coli is a common bacterium. Its amounts are monitored routinely. The new Drug Czar to be appointed by Donald Trump thinks we are not getting enough E-coli in our food.
He wants the minimum level to be "50" of "whatever they use to measure it." It is often expressed as colony forming units per gram, cfu7g.
"Ok, those. We lived with well over 100 when we were cave men."
We probably had less E-coli when we were cavemen, we have to note. If we caught a fish, we fried it and ate it. Currently fish with cfu/g are rejected.
"Once we get used to the minimal 50, I am going to raise it to 150."
