I've been thinking about this spinach - e-coli thing. How hard would it be for angry migrant workers to spread fecal material on crops in protest of American immigration policies? Many crops (organic and conventional) are presently rotting in the fields and orchards because there aren't enough people to pick them even though there are people who WANT to pick them but can't get across the border. And, of course, North Americans can't afford to pick them because they don't know how to live on those kinds of incomes. I suppose when the 14 lane superhighway from Mexico to Canada is finished, work for migrants will become available again.
