Salmonella Warning Lifted Amid Signs That The Outbreak Is Slowing

Dr. Evil can keep THOSE tomatoes.

Yeah... It''s OK to eat tomatoes again until next time when it may well be spinach or peanut butter. Eating healthy food these days is a lot like playing Russian roulette. I think the FDA went out to lunch and stayed there, this past adminstration.
By the way, why is that mad scientist holding up that bag of bloody, unidentified organs? Are they cloning Republicans, now?

I lived in Mexico for many years.
The Mexican agricultural worker defecates in the field, using leaves or stones to clean himself thus introducing the salmonella, e.coli., etc. into the food chain as he/she picks the product. The various micro sized bacteria are found under his fingernails and then passed along.
There is no doubt in my mind that this is how the various bacteria are passed on.
It can be within the product as the plants are attended to in their young form or on the outside from handling.

"TOMATOES WERE "NEVER" THE PROBLEM...HOW COULD THEY HAVE BEEN A PROBLEM ....WHEN THEY COULDN''T FIND TOMATOES HAVING IT IN THE FIRST PLACE! THEN IT WAS CILANTRO...THEN IT WAS PARSLEY...THEN IT WAS LETTUCE...ONIONS...BLAH, BLAH, BLAH...WASH IT...DUMBEEEEEE... BEFORE YOU EAT ANYTHING...AND WASH YOUR BLOODY HANDS...AFTER THE POTTY...CHILDREN...THATS WHERE IT CAME FROM IN THE FIRST PLACE!
HAVEN''T GIVEN UP TOMATOES FROM THE BEGINNING...THEY ARE BEAUTIFUL THIS YEAR...IT''S A BIGGER SHAME THAT THEY WASTED MILLIONS OF POUNDS BY THIS...THE FARMERS...DID THEY HAVE TO EAT THE LOSS ON THEM-DOES ANYONE KNOW OUT THERE!!

Since a great number of tomatoes are imported from Mexico all they had to was check with Mexico for salmonella cases down here. Caused a lot of losses. I never stopped eating tomatoes, use them every day down here in salsas, and for cooking. Oh, well. Canada doesn''t have a problem and a lot their tomaotoes are from Mexico. Must have something to do with raising the price. By the way green peppers are also fine, eat them everyday. A day without chili peppers is like a day without sunshine.

*(but watch out for potatos, lettuce, celery, radishes, cucumbers, onions, melons, grapes, and ''nanners)

Yeah, I feel R E A L good about eating tomatoes again. The government says it''s ok, but MAY be slowing? They don''t know what caused it and "...it doesn''t mean tomatoes are cleared".... If that isn''t wishy washy response that leave me feeling cold on tomatoes, I don''t know what is. It''s like they are saying it''s kinda ok, but not really. The safety of our food supply sources makes me want to dig up a patch of dirt in my back yard and take a class on vegetable growing 101.

So, why is that scientist showing us all a bag with his nuts in it?
