Organic produce..means more disease.....

And the chemicals used by factory farms cause cancer, etc. etc.

There is risk in everything.

I not only question ABC but the source of the article as well. I don't think either are reliable.

Do the math. If 25 million people eat spinach and 200 get sick before it's all pulled, that's a probability of 0.000008 of getting sick. Sounds to me like the government regulations and inspection process are working and working well.

Will any MSM outlet cite the overwhelming efficiently in which the the tainted item was identified and how quickly it was pulled?

Irradiate the produce, just like they do seafood.

That idea is quickly exposed as nonsense to anyone willing to do the research.

Put a fence on the border so the illegals can't pee in the water.

Yes, but they still have their young in the water so I'm not sure that would be the solution. Are you?
