The poisoning of a young girl takes the CSI gang to a farm that supplies "organic" vegetables (in quotes because we later find out some of the veggies are genetically engineered) to a restaurant where the girl ate and contracted E. coli.

The best part of the show was the really cool montage showing the path of the E. coli (shown as ominous magenta fuzzies) from the drainage pipe to the well to the irrigation to the illegal immigrant cutting the greens from the soil and loading it in the truck to the restaurant worker cutting up the greens to the waiter bringing it to the poor unsuspecting girl. Bon appetit!

This reminded me of an incident in Callao about 4 years back. Tomato plants were growing in the Barranco between Arco Iris and the main village which is quite a busy walkway. People were picking the tomatoes. The plants were being watered from a leaking sewer. You could see the horror on people's faces as the penny dropped when I suggested where the seeds had probably come from to start the plants off. :eyebrows:

Ten people have been reported to have died from a new outbreak of the killer E-coli bacteria, all deaths have been linked to Germany, but the organic cucumbers that are carrying the bacteria appear to have been imported from Spain. Three cases have been reported in the UK, with over 270 reported world wide.

No cucumber jokes please.:)

Yup how funny - suddenly the Germans work out that since Spain wasn't affected, perhaps it is not Spanish produce
