Death at the Supermarket

We’ve all been there: face down in the toilet trying to expel the toxic remains of last night’s dinner. Ugly scene, ugly feeling, and ugly clean-up duty. Many people assume that their so-called bug came from a virus, but the truth is that a lot of intestinal tumult came from something even scarier—food poisoning. Dr. Michael Roizen, MD.
In the United States, food poisoning leads to the hospitalization of 300,000 and kills 5,000 annually. In most cases, the victim suffers only mild discomfort, but sometimes an infection can become life-threatening. The biggest challenge is identifying which bacteria is the culprit; knowing exactly how and when you contracted food poisoning can make all the difference in recovery and could even save your life. Dr. Mehmet Oz, MD
It’s no small problem; and make no mistake, food poisoning is no laughing matter. It can make you really sick—and it can make you dead.
Sitting in your car in the parking lot of Giant Stuff Mart, the place certainly looks innocent and innocuous. After all, what is more harmless and welcoming than the friendly neighborhood supermarket? Well, as a matter-of-fact, the grocery store is one of the most common and easy places to get a good dose of something that can put you in a hard box with soft lighting and music, forever—real fast.
In DEATH AT THE SUPERMARKET, author and long-time supermarket employee Larry “the fish-guy” Caplin takes the reader on a voyage of discovery; of the good, the bad, and the really, really, flat-out butt-ugly reality of the sometimes sick and sordid under-belly of the local chain supermarket.
Hint: It’s all about money—and profits.
Every. Single. Time.
Learn about the two “supermarket-speak” words that can kill you. Hear the story of, “Killing Grandma and the Rat-boy,” and “The Homeless Sampler.” Find out the things you need to know and need to do to avoid severe sickness, and yes—even how to survive your trip to the grocery store. And do it in a fun, entertaining, and non-dry way.
After reading this book, it can be practically guaranteed that you will never look at that “friendly” supermarket in just the same way. You’re likely to be a lot more cautious, and maybe even a little bit scared. But considering what’s at stake; namely, the health and safety of yourself, and those you love—that’s a really good thing.
