"Muslims Demand Apology."

No.

Its just that easy.

I was right, it was an organic brand.

Some interesting questions arise from this finding. 1) Will people still continue to pay a premium for the increased risk of being infected with a potentially life threatening bacteria? 2) Will information be found that the culprit (a specific organic brand) was known from the begining but withheld, and a blanket warning against all bagged spinach was issued instead? 3) If so, would companies such as Dole have a legal case to recoup damages?

E. Coli infections in 8 U.S. states were linked to bagged spinach, however; it has been reported that the brand name of said bagged spinach is still unknown. How is that possible? They know that it was spinach... bagged spinach no less, and yet they don't know which brand?

Here's what I think. When I hear E. Coli infections arising from raw veggies, I immediately think "Organic Foods"; which have been shown to harbor more pathogenic microorganisms than crops grown with 20th century technology. The spinach might not be an "Organic" brand, but I'd be suprised if it wasn't.

So what the hell does "Organic" mean in this twisted and corrupted use of the term? It means food grown without the menacing touch of human technology... or at least without applied chemistry or biology (stone tools and irrigation are permitted, I think). The term was chosen to imply that tech-free food is actual food and the other stuff is just flavored polystyrene or some other non-food man made entity.

What kind of mind actually is more afraid of technology than a potentially life threatening infection (not to mention that they'll pay more for the privilage)? Probably the type that is also afraid of the ever menacing dihydrogen monoxide. To them, the word "chemical" has an automatic negative conotation, if you told them that even their "Organic Foods" were composed of chemcals they wouldn't believe you.
