Okay, weird, weird topic - not for the faint of heart
Okay, my husband and I were sitting in our kitchen talking about the tomato
thingy. Florida is now not a state that is exempt from possibility of contamination. We started talking about the word "tainted" and were wondering how that came about. Tainted = E-Coli, Salmonilla. Hmmm. Comes from the nether regions. Coincidence? Seriously, we were just wondering. Kind of makes sense.... Flame retardant suit on. kili |

Scary stuff. > > Yet another reason to grow your own <g> And tomatoes aren't near as dangerous as preground mystery meat. Many countries use human waste as fertilizer, Mexico and Italy encourage farm workers to fertilize their crops. The US military buys produce wherever they happen to be, but they use disinfecting baths for treating all produce purchased in foreign lands. Since so much produce in the US is imported it seems folks should begin disinfecting all produce at home, and probably best to refrain from consuming fresh produce at all restaurants. |

I'm guessing that some rinsing/cleaning process somewhere is contaminated. It seems to be taking a long time for them to pinpoint a source, but I'll bet a tank of supposed sanitizer is to blame.
