Just a thought

As a microbiologist, the phase "organically grown" means the food produced was grown in shit. It may be cow shit, or horse shit or chicken shit or even human shit. Give me chemically grown food any day.

Does anyone else wonder if the recent spinich and lettuce crops infected with E. coli (actually it is Escherichia coli O157:H7) were being grown as "organic." Just a thought.

Read how much fun Escherichia coli O157:H7 can be, http://www.cdc.gov/Ncidod/dbmd/diseaseinfo/escherichiacoli_g.htm
