re: #180 Eclectic Cyborg

I’ve often wondered if hispanics can handle the work better because they tend to be a bit shorter .

I’m not sure if it is enough of a difference to really matter.

There’s probably stats somewhere on what the long-term health issues are for produce pickers. My bet is that back and joint arthritis is right up there.

I’m not a good example. Pretty tall, always a little overweight, and it turns out that I have an inherited back condition.

I also did more upright work in a packaging facility (oil, anti-freeze, etc.) a few years later. A lot less back trouble, a lot more chemical exposure. :P
