Maybe Poster=shallow?? I would really like to see the basis of the posters statements. Are there published statistics from a reliable source that prove this? Or maybe the poster really IS an idiot, as the second statement suggests.I can't say for sure because I don't have the rest of the post, but from the single statement it definitely looks that way.

The poster should come to the PEDIATRIC hospital I work for. Hang out in the bathroom for on an hour. See how many citizens who were born and raised here who don't wash their hands...much less flush the toilet after themselves...
i agree that the vaccinations statement it stupid. but the hygiene standards are very different in other countries, so that point might not be so far off. i lived in mexico for a summer, and i wasn't in any tourist area - i was in the middle of the country, 100 miles north of mexico city. wow, is all i can say about some of the "hygiene" i witnessed.
this is not nearly as exciting as the fake bfp we got rockin' in wtt over the last couple of days though.
It seems to be as though the poster is looking for any way to link this issue to immigrants- without seemingly doing any sort of research. Instead of attacking the friggen people making like 0.95$ an hour under the table to do a job she doesn't want, why not look to the policies of the actual farms themselves?
Had she done her research, she would have learned that while tomatoes can be contaminated with salmonella via handling, it is more likely that they were contaminated via animal feces/human sewage via soil or water. That, and as a prior poster mentioned, just because someone is an American it doesn't mean that they have good hygiene.
Also, if she wants to avoid this issue all she has to do is get off her ass and buy local produce and ask the farmers of their policies. I can't STAND it when people complain about shit that they can resolve themselves if they put a minimum effort into it.
ps- the whole vaccination this is so assinine it's funny. She gets the idiot stamp for that comment alone.
What the poster doesn't understand ( that is if I am understanding this correctly and its about the salmonella outbreak with tomatoes)
is the salmonella doesnt come from the workers but from the manure they are using to fertilize the plants. As the plants grow it infuses through it and the fruit produced That is why you can't wash it off!
Where is this post?
Ok, what I want to know is was she attacked for her comments and called an idiot OR was she given the facts in a non-confrontational manner to read over.
All I ever see on the boards is attacking, not informing.
Uhg. How ridiculous.
And just a note, my dad drove a truck cross-country for a long time. Ive seen how the veggies are handled and it grosses me OUT. They back an old truck out in to the field, throw everything (veggies and dirt) in to a dirty old trailer, throw a loose tarp over it. They then truck it to a processing plant or grocery store, and that usually takes a couple days at least. All the while those veggies are sitting in the sun in the that filthy trailer, and sometimes birds and bugs get under the tarp and have a snack.
Then it is all unloaded, and the truck is sent back out to the fields without being washed out.
And I cannot even begin to tell you the things Ive seen in those plants that are supposed to clean the veggies and box them up to send to stores. You'd never eat salad again.
This salmonella thing doesnt surprise me in the least.
I'm not sure she posted it on the 'public' forum.
As for being called an idiot, there's plenty of that from all angles.
Her point about the vaccines is just silly but...I do believe that the spinach salmonella issues were tracked back to the migrant workers defecating in the fields. ***IF that is in fact true - then the tomato salmonella issue could very well be the same thing.
***I am not saying it IS true***
