The tainted spinach, the tomatoes, and now green onions at Taco Bell. What is going on? Curious what you think!

actually, we're just getting much better at tracking and comparing food outbreaks. I'm positive that these have been happening all along, but the technology to link them is fairly new. People get food poisoning all the time, now we can show they were from the source. So my opinion, it's not more outbreaks, just better ability to connect them.

Because of the insane kick we have about cleanliness. Wash you hands, wash your food. Geeze, how is an immune system supposed to develop if we don 't toss a germ or two at it now and then. When I was a kid, I'd stick my face in a creek and suck out some water. Now for some reason that will get you sick. Not me, I drink from every creek I come across. I rarely get sick and have never had an infection from tainted food,

It is probably the ghost of Enrico Caruso displaying his anger that Reno Bertoia has not been elected to the National Baseball Hall of Fame. He silently flies around the country, and spreads toxic ferret dung on the crops.

ecoli starts in the handling and the packaging of the product.Usually the products are suppose to inspected by the FDA but sometime if one passes then the whole batch can be let to go through even if it bad and not seen.The stores that are shipped the products are suppose to check all products before putting them on the selves to sold.

the fertalizer they use isnt high enough quality. it is more the sh!t they say is sh!tty rather than the good sh!t because its cheaper. and the bad sh!t has all sorts of nasty sh!t in it and it has ecoli cuz it is dirty sh!t.
they are using more bird excrament based fertalizers now because it is cheap and help the plants a lot but they arent checking the quality of it so it brings the ecoli from the birds with it. same reason you arent supposed to eat raw chicken and clean up realy good after handeling it.

Well for one thing...people who work the fields have limited access to clean toilet facilities and handwashing stations...and THEY ARE TOUCHING YOUR FOOD.
Also I think the standards of hygiene in restaurants needs to be a lot tougher.
YUCK. This makes me never want to eat out again.

i think the workers in the fields are not very happy with their positions for whatever reason and they are being a whole lot less careful where they relieve themselves and how often they wash their hands afterwards.

Because our culture is mass producing everything... people get lazy, work gets sloppy, and important steps get illiminated. We are so dependant on everything getting to us fast that there we're bound to run into problems. WASH EVERYTHING BEFORE EATING IT!
