I gots to have me spinach!

[superbadgirl]

I'm so seriously freaked out and bummed about this E. coli/spinach thing! I eat fresh spinach, like, every day. Well, I used to anyway. I'm also a bit freaked that one of the brands named is Trader Joe's, and that's what I usually buy. The only reason I didn't get it this time was my sheer laziness - I didn't want to walk up the hill. I haven't become sick, clearly, but I'm still tempted to throw out what remains.

I would LOVE to have a small garden. I don't have much of a green thumb, but then the last time I tried to plant a garden I was about 8 and I picked a very shady, rocky-soiled spot. Don't know why my mom didn't try to convince me that wasn't a bright idea. ;)

I'd love tomatoes and spinach and peas, at the very least.

Unfortunately, there are arguments that even that won't help, as all ground and water sources are becoming increasingly polluted with chemicals, hormones, toxins, etc.

I'm not saying you shouldn't try... just saying we've got to get on top of this BS as a nation. It's crazy.

I'm pretty bummed about the spinach, too. Not just for me, but for Kiwi. I threw out our current batch and got her some broccoli and green beans (spinach has always been the only green she'd eat). To my shock, she gobbled up the broccoli like it was a treat, so I guess that's going to work find for her.

But dammit, I love salads and in particular fresh spinach.
