Don't eat fresh spinach imported from U.S.

For those aware of the numerous benefits of spinach - a word of warning.

- some US spinach contaminated with e.coli
- in US, 1 person dead, 50 in hospital from apparently spinach-caused e.coli outbreak
- washing it doesn't help, so just don't buy it

This isn't all that cmmgreens-related, but I thought people might want to know this. What would be more relevant is something addressing the question WHY this happened. The article does not shed any light on that. Can anybody offer any insight?
