442- SODA FOUNTAINS AROUND ROANOKE, Va., CONTAIN??????.....

...fecal bacteria in a very recent study. Nearly 50% of the 90 soda fountain machines tested around Roanoke, the "Star City of the South", tested for coliform bacteria, antibiotic-resistant microbes and E. coli samples!!
A) That MEANS the soda fountains at the "you-do-it-yourself" counter machines in nearly all fast-food restaurants AND convenience stores. Coming from....?
B) Employees who do not wash their hands BEFORE hooking up containers and those tubes. Once someone is involved in that dirty habit, the bacteria remains in that area!
C) How do we solve it? The owners and managers, NOW, have to take apart and SCRUB every inch every single machine in the Roanoke area!....and TRAIN employees and make sure that they follow expert sanitation rules and regulations...period.
D) MORE? Sorry...I, and some of you, now wonder, how many towns and cities, and soda machines just in Virginia and our Williamsburg have a potential huge problem? It's up to us, YOU, to ask and demand!
E) This Dr Pepper-upper, some time ago, sensed that the "yourself" fountains at the local convenience stores had a problem, so, only sealed bottles of soda were purchased!
