re: #136 Gus

You know what would be great? If companies that hire people to handle food actually gave them paid sick leave and decent preventative care as part of their health insurance. It’s got nothing at all to do with organic/not organic. I grow organic food, no one has ever got sick from my food, I’ve been at this for 16 yrs. My grandparents had an organic farm for 30 yrs, it never happened there either.

When you eat in a restaurant or get fast food, there’s an awfully good chance that at least one worker is there sick because they can’t afford the day off or their employer will fire them if they call in sick. THAT’S the problem here. Food recalls keep happening over and over again, most of the time it’s unclean factory practices, salmonella in peanut butter, ecoli in ground beef,etc, etc.
