I'm looking forward to it..........but we've got our work cut out for us tomorrow. It is/was a BIG tree.

But you know how civic minded I am.......anything for the Lodge :)

You just like the free tap beer, LOL!

[Gabz]

LOL...........there is no tap beer - it's only bottle - and I don't like bottled beer.

I heard the same thing...that makes me wonder what was being used as fertilizer...what country did this come from? If e-coli was part of the plant...somethin' is terribly wrong with the farm this came from.

most of the contamination of fruits, veggies come from south of the border.

Maybe, but in this case you are wrong.

[staytrue]

Probably grown anywhere but the good ole U. S. of A.

Maybe, but not this time.

[staytrue]

Thanks Mexico /sarc

Not this time.

He said the migrants were too lazy to walk to the potty facilities and they pee'd all over the fruit...just for funnzies. I don't know if it's true or not?!!

Probably not since they can not be sure white people are eating this stuff. It could end up on your own dinner table or your friends. Further, commercial operations will at least rinse the fruit to get the dirt and pesticides off first.

is it possible that some of our NAFTA friends are still using raw human waste to enrich their soils?

this is grown in the USA

[staytrue]

A dime to a dozen donuts it came from some forien country.

You just lost your dozen donuts.

Unfortunately, that's apparently not how it is happening in this case. The E. coli is actually INSIDE the plant which means no amount of washing will do.

My exact statement was, "No idea, think most of the contamination of fruits, veggies come from south of the border.", I was not stating a fact. So please stop using a portion of my statement to make it look like I said something else.

I do not post on the Immigration threads because they get too nasty so please do not bring that sort of vitriol on this thread.

You did not get the memo. There is some level of immigration vitriol on every FR thread. Just look at the comments before I made a single one on this thread. Aliens peeing on the fruit, aliens dumping on the veggies, aliens this, aliens that.

My question is did it come from Mexico ?

The food and drug dept wanted to take the place of origin off imported food for just such a time as this

You did not get the memo. There is some level of( ILLEGAL )immigration vitriol on every FR thread. Just look at the comments before I made a single one on this thread. Aliens peeing on the fruit, aliens dumping on the veggies, aliens this, aliens that.

YOU FORGOT THE WORD ILLEGAL as in "not legal", The distinction is not lost on those that think this is a nations of law

Maybe it's the "open-borders" scum doing it on purpose!
