What I've been hearing and reading -- it's the bagged fresh in any type of container - bags, plastic container that they're saying to get rid of. And cooking doesn't help it. Can't guarantee that you'd cook all the Ecoli out of it. It's too difficult and not worth the negative consequences.

It's not affecting fresh from your back yard, canned, frozen.

I saw something on restaurants -- many are substituting other things or just not offering any sort of spinach. I think that's a good idea for a while

Not to distract form the spinach warnings, and unsure where this belongs, I received it in an email and thought it might be an important message to the boomer generation.


About the time our original thirteen states adopted
their new constitution in 1787, Alexander Tyler, a
Scottish history professor at the University of
Edinburgh , had this to say about the fall of the
Athenian Republic some 2,000 years earlier:
"A democracy is always temporary in nature; it
simply cannot exist as a permanent form of
government."

"A democracy will continue to exist up until the
time that voters discover they can vote themselves
generous gifts from the public treasury."

"From that moment on, the majority always vote for the candidates who promise the most benefits from
the public treasury, with the result that every
democracy will finally collapse due to loose fiscal
policy, which is always followed by a dictatorship."

"The average age of the world's greatest
civilizations from the beginning of history, has been
about 200 years."

"During those 200 years, those nations always progressed through the following sequence:
1. From bondage to spiritual faith;
2. From spiritual faith to great courage;
3. From courage to liberty;
4. From liberty to abundance;
5. From abundance to complacency;
6. From complacency to apathy;
7. From apathy to dependence;
8. From dependence back into bondage"

Professor Joseph Olson of Hamline University School
of Law, St. Paul , believes the United States is now somewhere between the "complacency and apathy" phase of
Professor Tyler's definition of democracy, with some
forty percent of the nation's population already
having reached the "governmental dependency" phase.

Just so everyone knows how much is at stake and that apathy is the greatest danger to our freedom.
