My daughter is a friend of the mother of the Idaho toddler. This is so sad...

Ok HONESTLY not trying to be insensitive but,

"2-year-old boy became ill September 15 after eating spinach smoothie"

I'd probably kill myself before downing one of those.

what about you folks?

I got the impression that it was a fruit smoothie with some spinach added, probably for nutrient value. I know I used to sneak vegetables into my children's food when they were small.

I dunno about you guys, but reading this made me kind of irritated and cynical. (Emphasis mine)

WHUUUUT. Also, where did this e. coli come from? I don't want some tinfoil hat answer like 'the government' or 'terrorists' either. [Mad]

I have a friend who got hit by e. coli from spinach. Fortuately, she didn't get super-sick and is OK now.

One of our neighbors told us that we shouldn't be growing spinach in our garden because it was poisonous. [Roll Eyes]

Me, too. My friend must have been one of the first people to fall ill, too, because it was a while ago...but the doctors now think that's what caused her sickness. They weren't able to figure it out before the tainted spinach outbreak. She has a serious immune condition, so we're lucky that she recovered and is doing almost as well as she was beforehand.

It's creepy!
