Now I'm unsure as to whether all the stomach-cramping, excessive vomiting, and intestinal diarrhea bout that area high school students came down with a few weeks ago was really a 24-hour flu bug. Taco Bell is a favorite place to 'meet and eat' for teenagers because of the low cost of food.
I believe most of our produce, green onions, lettuce, spinach, etc., is picked by California farms. The bacterial culprit, E.Coli, is a 'feces' bacteria; I certainly hope these farms have enough portable toilet facilities within the fields themselves. My main worry is that the contamination is being done purposefully, and if that is the case, it won't stop any time soon. The Star reported during the past summer that one-half of the workers on these farms are in the country illegally and that the farms depend on being able to hire people to harvest their product at below or right at minimum wage. If this is the case, and illegal alien nationals are angry at the United States for not allowing everyone in the world to move to America, perhaps this is the source of the contaminations. The reports have all said that 'cow farms' are miles away from the produce fields. |

Geesh...it takes an E. Coli outbreak to keep people away from this crap they call "food?" This is incredibly funny.

Maybe port-o-lets, but probably not the Cadillac of portable sanitation facilities, the portable hand-washing station. Can't hardly find those at paid sporting events, let alone can I imagine that migrant farm workers get them.

On target! Not only has the quality of the food being served by T.B. gone was down; so have the portions! Don't even try to go into the rest rooms (Very Scary!!) |

Funny that you picked that paticular Taco Bell to Photograph.
That is the very same Taco Bell that sent several people to the hospital due to an employee need to do his bowl movements in the refried beans. It was quite a hidious story since the local News were able to get footage from the survailance camera. Taco Bell has had its share of problems and I susspect this e-coli business is far from being the last problem they will ever have. |
