Why is it that in the Taylor Farms photo of vegetable processing, all the workers are wearing dusk masks or respirators? What is dangerous in that environment?


I'd imagine it's their sneezes and coughs.

The problem isn't what's going into the workers, it's what's coming out of them.


In addition to keeping the food clean, massive amounts of dust derived from any substance can be irritating, even vegetables. Have you ever cut an onion or a really hot pepper?


Perhaps the workers are dangerous - to the food. Can't have them breathing contagious germs into the food they're processing...
