San Francisco, CA: San Francisco resident Bari TeHatchet was outraged at Zoe’s family style café and restaurant for serving spinach to her children in spite of the FDA’s warnings about the recent E-Coli outbreak linked to a California spinach processor. Her five year old was violently sick after eating the Zoe’s famous Popeye The Sailor Salad.

“I cannot believe they would do this. Could they not have replaced the spinach with kale?”

The restaurant staff strongly defended their values.

“Bari TeHatchet is an old time customer, as a single mother she does not care very much about her kids.” said Kristen Daly, a representative of the restaurant. “We are a family style restaurant and we believe that children deserve the attention. We just wanted her to wake up and take notice. These days, parents are just too busy to think about their kids. They do not want to know about any problem, unless there is blood involved.”

The symptoms of E-Coli poisoning includes bloody stools and kidney failure.

The restaurant had intentionally chosen to ignore FDA’s warnings about the outbreak and their recommendation to replace spinach with other leafy greens.

“We talked about it, but then decided that the FDA is basically a useless organization that does not understand that food is linked to values – especially when it comes to children.” said Daly. “I mean since when does Popeye eat kale or collard greens? How would that match up with Olive Oil? And what would it mean for the values our children derive from storytelling?”

Daly is convinced that Bari TeHatchet will live up to her name and make peace with the restaurant.

“She cannot deny that we have been feeding her children iron-rich foods for years”.

A server, waitress Eileen Twit, expressed little concern regarding the incident. “Everything will be fine,” said Twit as she filed her nails over a plate of cookies. “There are plenty of vegetables in the market. We just need to cutback for a while on the values of Popeye and focus instead on the values of Eeyore.”

As Twit waved a carrot in front of Tehatchet, Daly displayed a look of pride.

“We will find a way to calm her down.”
