I don't think I would have any compunctions, no. No nation is immune to food poisoning. Things like this happen everywhere. I don't stop drinking Coke after they find a rat in one of the bottles. I didn't stop eating British Beef. I still go out to eat even though I can't see them prepare the food. It's just something everyone of us live with every day.

Things happen everywhere --- but some things happen a lot more in some places versus other places:

On that, I'll agree. I exaggerated to make a point to the 'fair trade' side of the economic argument. Namely that if Mexicans continue to practice poor sanitation in their agriculture industry, it will not capture significant market share, regardless of the labor cost advantage, or any government subsidy.

True but you are comparing apples to oranges.

Sure in the USA there is the occasional food poisoning incident, but overall we have rules, standards and laws in effect to stop these things from happening. There are no such laws in Mexico or else they are not enforced and Americans will pay the price for that thanks to the republican and demoRat parties that gave us NAFTA.
