    Default How does romaine lettuce get e coli?

    Just heard it on the news. Never heard of this happening with vegetable before, but what the hell could cause it? Seems real strange...
    I like pie.

    Didn't taco Bell have a problem with those green chilies a few years ago? Same thing. I have no clue, unless it's not being washed before using.
    I used to be 'with it'. Then they changed what 'it' was. Now what I'm 'with' isn't 'it', and what's 'it' seems weird and scary to me.......

    I remember a few years ago there was a similar lettuce problem.

    It was traced back to a lettuce field picker crapping in the vegetable

    field that contaminated the lettuce (I know, gross).

    Yeah, that's kinda what I was thinking but didn't want to say it (hell I didn't even want to think it). Damn unhealthy vegetables. Guess I'll stick to alcohol.

    Yep, exactly as mentioned... whether it’s the pickers hands being unwashed after taking a shit, or them shitting somewhere and then contaminating the irrigation supply.... it all comes down to shit on your veggies
