E-coli organic veggie irony
Does anyone else find it grimly ironic that an organic vegetable farm was the source of the recent e-coli outbreak ?

Switch the blame to organic bean sprouts and it is suddenly its significant.
Meanwhile, the German Authorities have narrowed down the outbreak to bean sprouts. Only problem is, all the samples taken so far at the farm have come back negative for E.Coli.

I don't think it's ironic at all. The Spanish authorities are going to sue, I don't think we've heard yet whether the outbreak at the farm arose simply because they didn't operate rigorous enough hygiene standards. It amazes me how many people still don't wash their hands when they have been to the toilet, it could be something as simple as that?
Its enough to put people off organic foods. I thought they only did this in third world countries.

It may be hearsay evidence but who am I to argue with this comment:
///I know that in Germany, local farmers use human feces to fertilize their crops. While my father stationed in Germany, he took us to a German farm. The toilet was shaped differently, there was a platform that caught the human feces. The farmer instructed us to use a spatcula instrument to scoop out the poop, and put it in this bucket. The farmer told us kids that it is used to fertilize the crops. I can say this...Germany sure does have the greenest grass I've ever saw.///
