This week in OtherWords, Sonali Kolhatkar unpacks one of the most “explosive” issues in the news right now: that’s right, lettuce.<\/p>\n

Amid reports of “explosive diarrhea” resulting from tainted lettuce, many Americans are understandably wondering where they can find safer produce. Sonali suggests local farmers markets — but she also urges us to be curious about why outbreaks like this happen<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

A major reason, she argues, is corporate consolidation in the food industry. When fewer suppliers dominate the market, then contamination in one market can end up sickening people across the entire country. That monopoly power also helps corporations lobby against basic regulations, she adds.<\/p>\n

“Last year the administration weakened the nation\u2019s already thin food safety monitoring service, FoodNet, by making it optional to track numerous types of infections \u2014 including cyclosporiasis,” Sonali writes. “What will help prevent future outbreaks is restoring and expanding regulatory agencies tracking infectious outbreaks. And breaking up food monopolies while sustaining and strengthening small farms.”<\/p>\n

Also this week, Emma Newton explains how states can still protect residents from toxic pesticides<\/strong><\/a> despite a recent Supreme Court ruling favoring pesticide makers. Shaddi Zeid shows how taxes on digital ad companies like Google can help patch holes in state budgets<\/strong><\/a>. And Stephen Land and Bob Lord crunch the numbers for how tax policy creates billionaires (or trillionaires) like Elon Musk<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n
