Why didn't the FDA tell us that "Earthbound Farms" and its subsidiaries were the e.coli company? Why do I have to fucking find this out from snopes.com?
The government pisses me off to no end sometimes. They want to rule us and manipulate us, but when it comes to disseminating information instead of randomly dispersing fear, they're useless.
http://www.snopes.com/food/warnings/spinach.asp My Guinea Pigs ate the stuff, before we heard about the warning, as did I. I would think if ours was infected we'd be dead, or they'd be, or...there'd be something going on. God, this makes me so mad. Shit happens, but covering up important info. like THE BRAND NAME OF THE INFECTED PRODUCT is, like, kinda important. Fuckers.
ETA: Ah, evidently the FDA DID say this, yesterday...days after the outbreak was announced. Guess they didn't feel the need to spread the word about the update. I stand by my original denouncement.
