I’m curious and hoping someone can answer a question for me. I was watching the news yesterday and as i’m sure those of you in the US have heard, spinach has been recalled due to e.coli (i’m assuming this has effective ruined its nickname, mad cow disease). Anyway, the hard-hitting news reporter gets down to the street level to find out what people think about these mad leafy greens. A couple of people responded with something along the lines of “i’m never going to eat spinach again.” Seriously? Did they respond this way when they found out that the spinach only got e.coli cuz some shit from some cow, which they may later have for dinner or with some cookies, happened to splash on the spinach? Ok, so the question i’m hoping to get answered, why are people so quick to give up spinach, but not the industry that actually spread the e. coli?

I doubt anybody who said that will stick to it for more than a month. It’s probably just as likely that a different vegetable will become contaminated as it is that spinach will still be unsafe in a month’s time.
