- "You can't prove it DOESN'T work."
  "Yes we can. There are literally thousands of studies proving exactly that."
  
  "But it works for meeee!"
- Just have them add a tablepoon of yesterday's stool to your morning raw milk smoothie
This is why i only eat inorganic produce.
- Carbon? In my carrots? HELL no
- Sounds like what a synth would say!
FYI there is only two suppliers of carrots in the U.S.: Grimmway and Bolthouse.
This one is Grimmway.
So if you have organic carrots, double check on this one.
There's a full list of affected brands for both baby carrots and whole carrots here:

It looks like aldi may be affected, and I just bought baby carrots from aldi 😅
"Oh, honey, new plague just dropped. Epidemics starting early this year."
One of the brands is called Bunny Luv.
- They sell that brand at Sam's Club and possibly at Walmart as well.
I had a bag from the list in my fridge, so appreciate the heads-up!
Please stop putting shit on my veggies. M'kay?
Edit: apparently down voters dont know how e'coli spreads? Its fecal to mouth.
But I thought 'organic' produce was the magic, ultra safe produce that makes you super healthy and live forever? No, sorry, it's just very expensive, and it spoils faster.
- If your organic produce is spoiling quicker it’s probably because it’s not being grown locally and has spent more time in transit than the regular produce; spraying pesticides or using synthetic fertilizer doesn’t really add any preservative properties.
  Organic or regular produce from the farmer’s market will beat anything in a supermarket. Alas, it’s a fucking pain in the ass to get to one here and it’s not the cheapest.
  
  Fun fact: organic growers use pesticides. And the food is no healthier.
