E. Coli

So, people are dropping dead from E. Coli contaminated spinach. Thousands of acres of the crop are being plowed under in a desperate attempt to stop the spread of the disease.

Of course, if we’d adopted a program of sanitizing food by means of low level irradiation, the way we wanted to you a few years back, all of this could have avoided.

But, you see, radiation is “bad.” And Those Who Knew Best protested and jumped up and down and said “Three Mile Island” and claimed that we were all gonna turn into mutant freaks with two eyes and three heads. So, we didn’t do it.

Now, we’ve got dead people and a ruined industry.

Don’t you just love People Who Know Best? Who are On The Side of the Angels? And who will Save Us From Ourselves?

Say, I got an idea. Most of ‘em are Vegetarians. Many of ‘em are Vegans. So, they wouldn’t object to eating nothing but spinach for a few decades.

It would save the spinach industry. Take care of all these rotting vegetables. And best of all, provide nice snug homes for all those poor, dispossessed E. Coli.

How could anyone in league with Angels possibly object?
