Courtesy of the Diarrhea Lettuce Company - formerly known as Taylor Farms - who conveniently made use of inmates in Arizona to process the lettuce, at a mere $4.50/hour (or thereabouts - though prisoners were only getting $1.50/hour).

Slavery shouldn't exist - at all.

The Food and Drug Administration has honed in on iceberg lettuce that was supplied by Taylor Farms, a company that has made significant donations to the Trump administration and is has been linked to the use of prison labor.

Despite plenty of evidence to the contrary, White House officials declared the outbreak “under control” on July 21. Cases of the illness have risen more than tenfold since then.
