Guest guest Posted September 19, 2006 Report Share Posted September 19, 2006 I am sure everyone has heard about the spinach that was tainted with E coli, and the death that resulted.....it's so very sad, from what I heard it was a little girl. While I don't want to take away from the importance of that alert (I hope none of you had any raw spinach in your home when this happened...I didn't!), when reading the news article, I couldn't help but make comparisons to the comments being made about the spinach issue and the breast implant issue. For instance, in one article there is this quote: http://www.cnn.com/2006/HEALTH/09/15/tainted.spinach.ap/index.html An industry spokeswoman said public health concerns justified the blanket warning. "It needed to happen this way," said Kathy Means, a spokeswoman for the Produce Marketing Association. "Public health has to trump economics at this time." Hmmm. Wouldn't it be nice to hear the manufacturers of breast implants say that? Then the acting commissioner of the FDA says this: "We need to strive to do even better so even one life is not lost," said Dr. von Eschenbach, FDA's acting commissioner. Hmmmm. Wouldn't it be nice if the FDA said that about breast implants? How can they be so concerned on one hand towards anyone who might eat spinach, yet so coldhearted towards all of us who have suffered from breast implants. They KNOW WOMEN HAVE DIED! It just slays me....they sure are a mystery. Patty How low will we go? Check out Messenger’s low PC-to-Phone call rates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 19, 2006 Report Share Posted September 19, 2006 Patty, There is no mystery here at all, spinach has little profit margin in comparison to breast implants. It's all smoke and mirrors! By the way, I did have spinach in my refrigerator when this all broke out. I watch very little TV and hadn't heard about the recall. I attempted to serve my daughter a spinach salad. Fortunately, she saved both of our lives.

Guest guest Posted September 19, 2006 Report Share Posted September 19, 2006 My spinach was out of my garden. New Zealand spinach. Yum. I did not have to worry. And the majority of bagged spinach was undoubtedly not contaminated or thousands and thousands of people would have been ill. It was scary, but nothing like a city with contaminated water or something big. I just hope most people have gotten the word and thrown it out by now.

Guest guest Posted September 19, 2006 Report Share Posted September 19, 2006 This time of the year, thankfully, I get my spinach from the farmer's market near our house.

Guest guest Posted September 20, 2006 Report Share Posted September 20, 2006 Patty, it is unbelievable, isn't it? Especially when it is SOOOO obvious? It's a spiritual attack on women, in general, I believe...with sexual pressures (i.e. body image, etc.) and monetary greed leading the way! We must continue the Good Fight, no matter what, though. I am VERY motivated and will continue to speak out. Proud to be part of your site. God bless you, again, for having the courage to start this and be so vigilant with it.
