      First drugs, then terror: now US in 'war with spinach'
      By Andrew Gumbel in Los Angeles
      Published: 19 September 2006
      First came the war on drugs. Then the war on terror. And now - in an America more than usually prone to fear, paranoia and the beeping of colour-coded alert systems - comes the war on organic spinach.

      Ever since an outbreak of infections from the E.coli bacteria was traced to bagged spinach a few days ago, the feds have been relentless. No danger of the governmental breakdown that characterised the response to Hurricane Katrina a year ago. No half-measures or mollycoddling of the green leafy vegetable lobby.

      The outbreak has indeed been serious and significant - more than 100 confirmed contaminations in 19 states, including one 77-year-old woman who died in Wisconsin and more than 50 others sent to hospital - but the response has also been staggering in its severity.

      Yesterday, the Food and Drug Administration issued an advisory to consumers to avoid all fresh spinach - raw or cooked, bagged or unbagged, organic or not - until further notice. Schoolchildren may have cheered and cheered, but for the country's spinach farmers the official warning spelt something close to calamity.

      Organic farmers' markets have turned into spinach-free zones - even though the small growers who typically bring their produce to big-city markets are almost certainly blameless. Trader Joe's, the California-based supermarket chain whose fortunes are based on providing gourmet-quality food at everyday prices, had nothing but a big hole where its spinach bags used to be.

      Corner cafés and restaurants have started replacing the spinach in their quiche with rocket. Spinach farmers, meanwhile, have been left staring at their crops sitting out in the fields in the knowledge that, within a few days at the most, they will have to rip them up and write them off for lost.

      "We've stopped harvesting," the spinach growers' spokesman, Joe Pezzini, told a northern California newspaper. His company, Ocean Mist, has not come under suspicion, but it makes no difference. "It has a whole ripple effect. You have acres and acres of spinach out in the field right now."

      E.coli is carried in animal faeces, which means some producer somewhere has a problem with contaminated water, or some other sort of seepage in either the picking or the packing process. For now, two big companies have recalled their products - Earthbound and River Ranch Fresh Foods. Both are based in the Salinas valley in northern California - Steinbeck country, where spinach is a $200m (£106m) industry.

      Yesterday, Earthbound announced that its organic spinach - the focus of much of the initial anxiety - had been given the all-clear. Federal investigators, meanwhile, fanned out over the Salinas area to try to trace the infection to its source.

      Consumers have responded to the spinach crisis in various ways. Some are laughing it off. ("I have more fear from the local followers of Islam than bagged salad," one e-mail correspondent wrote to The San Francisco Chronicle.) Others are taking the pragmatic approach of boiling their spinach rather than eating it raw. Many others, however, have gone into overdrive - washing and rewashing all their fruit and vegetables, even though cold water is ineffective against E.coli.

      The crisis has had one intriguing side effect. The point of bagged salad is to spare consumers washing their greens before they eat them. Now, however, everyone is on notice that commercial washing and bagging is no guarantee of protection from germs. "Greens in a bag have been handled by two or more sets of human hands," Albert Goodwyn of San Francisco wrote to his local paper. "What else did those hands hold on to? 'Nuff said."

      Forunately enough we muslims are not vegetables!!

      If man is the father of the son
      Is the center of the earth
      In the middle of the universe
      Why is this verse comin
      Six times rehearsed
      Dont freestyle much so
      I write em like such
      Amongst the fiends
      Controlled by the screens
      What does it all mean
      All this shit Im seein
      Human beings scream vocal javelins
      Signs of a local nigga unravelin
      My wandering
      Got my ass wondering
      Where christ is
      In all this crisis
      Hatin satan
      Never knew what nice is
      Check the papers
      While I bet on isis
      More than your eye can see
      And ears can here
      Year by year
      All the sense disappears
      Nonsense perseveres
      Prayers laced wit fear
      Beware
      2 triple 0 is near

      Damn was it somethin I said
      Pretend you dont see
      So you turn your head
      Race scared of its shadow
      Does it matter?
      Thought areparations
      Got em playin wit the population
      Nothing to lose
      Everythings approved
      People used
      Even murders excused
      White men in suits
      Dont have to jump
      Still theres 1001 ways
      To lose wit the shoes
      God takes care of ol folks and fools
      While the devil takes care
      Of makin the rules
      Folks dont even own themselves
      Payin mental rent
      To corporate president
      1 outta 1 million residents
      Be a dissident
      Who aint kissin it
      The politics of chains and whips
      Got the sick
      Missin chips and championships
      Whats love got to do
      Wit what you got
      Dont let a win get to your head
      Or a loss to your heart
      Nonsense perseveres
      Prayers heed wit fear
      Beware
      2 triple o is near

      It might feel good
      Sound a lil somethin
      Damn the game
      If it dont mean nuttin
      What is game who got game
      Wheres the game
      In life
      Behind the game
      Behind the game
      I got game
      She got game
      We got game
      They got game
      He got game
      That millenium
      Just be killin em
      Scary
      Like lies buried in the library
      When did a state pen
      Correct anything
      When piles of us
      Still be catchin the bus
      When stacks of cats
      Packin laundry mats
      Paid the preachers back
      But where the teachers at?
      I aint even gotta ask it
      As whos underpaid and
      Fouled at the basket
      I cant blame the envy
      At who gettin the benjis
      And takin grants for granted
      Last I checked pyramids
      Wasnt built like projects
      Or on government checks
      Modern day thugs
      Aint got no guts
      Pardon the expression
      Under governor nuts
      Last time in a church
      Be the last time in a church
      Dead pledged alliance
      To many cds and movies
      Leaving reality
      Believing fantasy
      Bleedin fatalities
      Too many formalities
      Prayers laced wit fear
      Beware
      2 triple o is here
      Public Enemy › He Got Game
