Their filthy workers will put their fecal matter on the food, and you’ll be happy.

Exactly, some things, like sprouts, are very dangerous because of the growing conditions that support bacteria growth, no matter how careful you are in growing them. Some grocery chains have stopped carrying them, like Walmart and Kroger because of the dangers of salmonella contamination. It is a shame too, because they taste so good. It doesn't matter if they are organic or “natural”..in fact, organic fertilizers can increase the dangers of bacteria poisoning.
