In Mexico they use human sewage to irrigate and fertilize the crops. Anyone who has ever traveled to Mexico knows the warnings --- you don't drink the water, you don't eat any uncooked food --- it's common knowledge and there is no reason the importers of this food wouldn't know the risks.

Are you implying that youd rather eat food that had raw human feces on it than something that was chemically fertilized? The problem with eating poop from Mexico is that they have a lot of hepatitis A, pathogenic E. coli, salmonella, shigella, cholera and other diseases in that poop. If the human sewage used to fertilize doesn't contain a lot of diseases --- I guess it'd be safer to eat.

Questions have been raised if this was done deliberately such as in the 1980s in a community in Oregon (or was it Washington) case. A Hindu cult infected salad bars in restaurants to get people sick on election day so that their candiates could win. Initially our government allegedly hid this from us.

Statement: "We ship out jobs, they ship in hepatitis"
Response. Simply fill your heart with love. That is more important than disease and death.

600 people is not a devastating outbreak.

Aemilius,
Somehow filling I doubt that filling my heart with love will keep me safe from tainted food.

Prodigal Son,
What are your requirements for a devestating plague? I think that six hundred people and counting suffering from a debilitating virus is pretty bad. So what does it take for you?
To: asmith92008
Well we are told "True Luv conquers all!" "Our Diversity Is Our Strength!" We are to create "A Big Tent," and "Room At The Table!" No, I'm sorry, I'll take "Diversity" over disease and death anytime. I mean what is TB, Hepatitis,Dengue Fever, Malaria, Ebola, Flesh Eating Bacteria etc. when compared to the sight and smell of an elevator filled with the "Diverse Ones?"

Thank goodness, Aemelius. I thought from your first post that you were serious.
You should also remember a bit of wisdom from Jack Handy: "My father said that laughter was the best medicine. Maybe that's why my six brothers died of TB."
