maybe the \”wild pigs\” are of the 2 legged kind…. This is from the \”Rural Migration News\” publication – makes you think about where our food is coming from…
Officials had been inspecting operations in the \”Salad Bowl of the World\” after earlier outbreaks of E. coli, which lives harmlessly in the intestines of cattle and is present in the manure of animals and bird droppings. Speculation on how the E. coli got into packaged greens ranged from tainted dust blowing over fields to workers carrying bacteria on their hands or clothes or not using available toilets. Many salad greens are harvested at night, with work beginning at 1 or 2 am, leading to speculation that workers may be relieving themselves in the fields instead of walking through the dark to toilets.
Most farm workers have access to portable toilets, which were made mandatory in California in 1992. Growers must provide drinking water, toilets and hand-washing facilities to field laborers within a five-minute walk of where work is taking place, and must have separate facilities for men and women, with one toilet for every 20 employees. Cal-OSHA issued 143 citations for violations of field-sanitation rules in 2005.
