Veggie Musical Chairs

Gee. Now that it's safe (one would assume) to eat spinach again, now we have to be concerned about all our little green onions. At least txrad and I still have some in the garden.
After Taco Bell traced a growing E. coli outbreak to green onions at its restaurants yesterday morning, government investigators began an intensive search to identify the source of the contamination. The total number of cases in three Northeastern states swelled to 99, implicating several additional restaurants and a second food distributor, who said the onions came from a California farm.

It's a damn shame when a nation can't trust the food supply.
