Mexico’s Killer Scallions
by Jeff Davis
It’s not generally understood that in addition to diseased illegal immigrants and bizarre fauna (including giant African water rats, killer bees and Burmese pythons) the United States imports a large amount of its food from the Third World, especially the many products which supply the fast food restaurants which now form the basis of the American diet. The number of greasy burgers, oily slices of pizza, and mystery meat tacos and burritos that overweight Americans stuff into their maws like hogs every week must run into the billions. The immense fast food profits (not to mention medical industry profits from fast food-related obesity) are so gargantuan that they can only be called super-sized. But like the Latino gangs and the killer bees, Third World food can be deadly.
Fast food gorgers in the Northeast have been dropping like flies due to a bad shipment of Mexican scallions to their local Taco Bells. The many news articles are cagey about the actual source of the bacteria-poisoned vegetables. Breitbart says “The scallions suspected in the E. coli outbreak linked to Taco Bell came from a Southern California grower…” This, of course, ignores the fact that Southern California is now a de facto part of Mexico, and that the vegetables were picked, sorted, packed, and loaded by illegal Mexican laborers who probably had all kinds of diseases and last washed their hands in 1999. Breitbart continues, “Taco Bell removed scallions from all 5,800 of its restaurants Wednesday after preliminary tests linked them to the E. coli bacteria. State and federal investigators also are scrutinizing other non-meat ingredients on the Taco Bell menu, such as cheese, lettuce, yellow onions and tomatoes, as they try to pin down the source.” One anonymous source said that FBI agents wished to question that loud-mouthed little Chihuahua who used to do the Taco Bell ads on TV, but that he was unavailable having allegedly disappeared after a salary dispute although his dog collar was rumored to have been found around a burrito grande.
