What's going on with all the produce contamination this year?
I remember the last time there was a green onion scare (with the Hep A thing) I was afraid to use them for several months afterwards. Green onions hold a lot of goop and water in their stems, so if you sort of massage them while you're washing them you can get weirded out believing you're expelling radioactive material or something. I used to do a lot of stir-frys using green onions...other dishes, too. It's the only kind of onion Scott will eat if he knows it's present.
Seriously, what do people do to produce that would cause E. coli contamination? Poop on it?

At least I HOPE it's animals.

It's probably animal poop.
