all reasons for the double-post cops to erupt...They are an odd breed. Who else really cares?

"The death occurred in Wisconsin where 20 other people were also hit.""Seven other states, including Connecticut, Idaho, Indiana, Michigan, New Mexico, Oregon and Utah, have also been hit by the outbreak."
YIKES!
I just cooked 20 oz of fresh bagged spinach a few days ago. I live in Washington State. I see my state is not on the list, and I assume e-coli would hit you pretty fast so I guess we are safe in this household.

Umm.....perhaps.....because you cooked it, the object of it being your 20 oz. bag of fresh spinach.
I'm glad to have enlightened you as to the positive effects of cooking, at temperature, spinach and other citizens of the food chain.

Oh, great. I had a big ol' spinach salad for lunch yesterday. I don't seem to be dead yet, luckily. But I think I'll throw out the rest of the bag.

Many unknowns at this point.One KNOWN at this point. Wash salad greens with water and a chlorine bleach solution. Rinse with fresh, clean water. http://www.clorox.com/health_food_borne.php

As a confirmed Spinach hater, this little problem will have no effect on my eating habits.
The irony is that people only eat spinach because they think it is going to help them to live longer. Nobody actually likes the taste of that stuff, do they?

About seven years ago, give or take, there was an outbreak related to straweberries. When all was said and done, they found out that the strawberries came from Mexico, and they were using water with human waste in it to irrigate the strawberries.
I have no idea where this spinach came from. It's probably a U.S. product, but who knows.

Awwww...it ain't that bad. ;)
I actually like it better than lettuce (easier to digest, and more vitamins & minerals) - especially if I grow it and pick it...then I know where it has been.

Damn! I just planted some spinach a week ago. If I let it mature, it will become fresh bagged spinach.
should I quit watering it or dig it up and kill it?

When all was said and done, they found out that the strawberries came from Mexico, and they were using water with human waste in it to irrigate the strawberries.And when all was double said and double done, they found out that ignorant consumers ate s#*t covered strawberries without washing them. Or their hands. "Organic" produce is covered in pig crap and cow crap. Some of this offal comes from--Mexico!--. Worry not, US pig offal will only give one a different form of renal failure.
