something organically grown and good for you healthwise can be so deadly??????? Im talkin the organically grown fresh spinach, which has now cost 2 lives and many others around the nation are sick, because of ecoli. what do you veg heads think about that?? there is no such thing as healthy food. you can get sick no matter what.
the spinach didn't make them sick.. the shit fertilizer did.. e.coli is an intestinal bacteria ... not possible to get it from a plant.. unless the plants got shit on it thats infected with e.coli.. why do you think so many people get "food poisoning"? eating shit
exactly! wash it.. buy locally grow veggies and fruits when you can.. so you know the source if you do get sick.
It's like rain on your wedding day....................... damn it, now that stupid song is in my head
of course organic farms use fertilizer! .. organic shit.. but that doesn't mean somewhere along the line some idiot didn't fuck up and mix in some e.coli shit
to all of you who said to wash it, this strain is said to not come off from being washed. that's why we're not even serving it in our salad bar at work... in fact we're not even serving the bag of mixed greens that doesn't even contain spinach.
to all of you that said that its not the spinach that contains the bacteria, I know this. its cross contamination. Ive worked in the restaurant business for years. still, people dont realize that anything can be harmful for you. even the healthy foods.
I blame the gub...ment. That's right. Hell, they inject our fruits and veggies with all kinds of junk to enlarge them. My mother has seen the actual photos from someone whose son worked for them. They give steroids to cows to get more meat out of 'em. This has already been proven. I think they created most diseases we have in a lab somewhere, too. Evil bastards. Don't believe it, just google The Tuskegee Incident.
Accordingly to the NIH, washing the spinach does no good because the ecoli is bound so tightly to it.
organic food is teh gay give me my preservative hormone huge juicy tastey pathogen free genetically modified fruit, meat and vege any day the bacteria will always win. we are trying to keep up but it's not easy.
on cnn they brought up terrorism. the lady opened the story up by asking if our farms are safe in this time of heightened terror.... i thought that was... interesting....
I hate that song, rain on your wedding day is shitty, not ironic, not that i am criticizing you, just the song.
yeah, i found that out when i went to subway and they no longer had the spinach spread. i was pissed.
Guess most of yall haven't read the recent numerous online articles on this problem. Appears this particular valley has a history of similar contamination. Doesn't matter if we're discussing conventional or the ripoff 'organic' ones as there's a strong possibilty contaminated flood waters are the e.coli's delivery system. Haven't read exactly where the e.coli originates - only possibilities. Sux cuz there's no hot spinach salad to be found...
