That's not the first time I've heard of food problems at Chipotle. I'm staying away from that joint. Hope the players get better soon.
I've read stories about how some farms don't give their workers bathroom breaks and so the workers poop in the fields. Presumably they have no way to wash their hands either and that's where the problems are. There's no way to know what farms do this. There aren't enough inspectors. Republicans in congress vote against funding almost all types of government oversight. Plus a lot of produce comes from overseas. Will organic farms treat their workers better? Maybe. I don't know. But most restaurants don't buy organic and it too can have bad bacteria. There's no simple solution.I've never been to Chipotle but I read that the e-coli threat was because of tainted celery and the watch had spread to other restaurants including Costco, Sam's Club, Starbucks, Walmart and other bulk produce users and suppliers. Scary how vulnerable our food supply is and that's before someone like me even gets to destroy it by my cooking.
