Dear Saneters:
I didn't see the 20/20 segment, but I was emailed a link to a good response
form the Organic Trade
Association. http://www.ota.com/food_safety_release.htm Good information on
the difference between harmless e-coli bacteria and the harmful types.
This kind of journalism needs to be challenged.
