The farms in the area where the majority of the nation's spinach is grown also grow lots of other leafy greens. But I noticed that when my local Trader Joe's (one of the distributors of greens from Natural Selection Foods) re-introduced bags of mixed greens to their shelves, they had stickers on them that said "no spinach" as if the other leaves are completely safe. For those who are interested in making changes to the food system, two legislative opportunities are the Safe Food Act of 2005 (Durbin), and the 2007 Farm Bill.
