onions

from "Federal Tests Find No E. Coli in Green Onions" in the ny times today,

"At the same time, the New York State Health Department retracted last week’s announcement that its more sophisticated tests of green onions from a Taco Bell on Long Island had found the virulent strain, E. coli O157:H7, believed to have sickened more than 300 people in New York.

Instead, the agency said, that sample was actually white onions that had been mislabeled, and the strain of E. coli found was not the same as the one that had caused illness."

so was it the agency that mislabeled the onions or taco bell? and who can't tell the difference between a green onion and a white onion? even scarier- how many strains of e. coli are living at taco bell?? unless the NY state health dept. is seriously stupid and getting their lab results all screwed up. or maybe they didn't and tabo bell is paying them off to say that their information was wrong, due to a ridiculous, department-wide mislabeling malfunction that made everyone think they were testing white onions instead of green ones.

The bottom line is that you cain't trust the Govrn'mnt. They tell us one week that green onions are makin' us sick, and now we got to fret about the whites. I cain't enjoy my ultimate burrito if it ain't got onions, so what am I supposed to do?
I think it is all an elite, commie, left-wing media plot to make us stop eatin' stuff that ain't good for us. If it were up to those wackos we wouldn't eat anythang but tofu and sprouts. Cain't make a burrito with tofu and spouts.

I figure Barbra Streisand and her Hollywood pals all got a hand in this too. They's probably out hirin' illegal aliens to spray e. coli on the onion fields. If it were left to them we would have to eat vegan tacos made by French gays who like to listen to the Dixie Chicks.

I'm headin' to The Border right now! They cain't scare the likes of me!
