More deaths by spinach

Another person has died has died, it is not confirmed yet but the doctors believe that his death is from the E. coli bacteria that has turned into a epidemic in the United States. The E. coli bacteria is being transfers by spinach, the FDA has urged people not to eat fresh spinach due to 157 cases.

So far there has only been one confirmed death from the E. coli virus and another is on the way. 2 year old Kyle alleged was admitted to the hospital with kidney failure caused by hemolytic uremic syndrome. It is also reported that before he died he had bloody diarrhea, which is a symptom of the kidney failure.

What I don't understand is why would people and parents keep eating the spinach after there has been recalls on it and the FDA has urged people to quit eating it. All young children and older people in always in a bigger risk of catching an illness, so why would a parent feed it to there kids, that is just asking for it.
