Mean green
Whoa. Now we are being told that deer shitting in the fields are the origin of the e coli in the bad spinach. Well, since this information is coming to us via the big corporations like Dole who sells the spinach, I think it's PR lies. If it's the deer, this will give them license to slaughter the animals, and scapegoat - or scapedeer - them, and retool themselves as protectors of the Public, covering their spinach to keep making their spinach.
When one of the brand names of the bagged spinach was first revealed, "Natural Selection", I observed how appropriate and tragically ironic it was. The Dark Wraith replied that it was preferable to labeling it "Culling the Herd" Baby Spinach. Now the big growers can not only continue to cull the human herd for profit by not following through with safety precautions as they were warned to do, they can cull wild animals and blame them at the same time. So much culling satisfaction, and taking on the natural world and all therein!

Right on!
Glad I found your link again on your comment. I'll save your blog this time.
To answer your question on my blog, my mom lives in McGehee... which is about as dull a place as you can imagine, in SE Ark. about 10 miles from the Mississippi River.
"Culling the herd" baby spinach is a great name. Yikes. Of course culling was much more prevalent in the early days. We're not so comfortable with the prospect anymore. We expect to be protected from everything.
