No?
Why not?
Why can't we have someone there all the time making sure that the poopy water isn't getting on the plants?

We all have to eat those plants.
And this is a problem that extends far beyond the U.S.
These days, 60% of our fruit is imported.
About a third of our fresh vegetables are imported.
We're recording this on Wednesday, July 22nd, and the FDA believes that the tainted cyclospora lettuce came from a farm in Mexico.
But at the moment, it seems the FDA only very rarely inspects farms in other countries.
Yeah, Jim says it is way more complicated and way more expensive to conduct foreign inspections.
So the vast majority of the time, the FDA relies on the companies that are importing the food.
Those companies are supposed to make sure that the foreign farm or factory is following U.S.
safety standards.
