Attaaaaaack of the Killer Tomatoes! (lol salmonella outbreak)

this happened with spinach a few years ago and I recall that the outbreak was tracked back to one or two suppliers w/ national distributions; the point being that the LOCAL PRODUCERS who were not to blame were being hit because Media was all like 'O FUCK SPINACHES = DETHOMG." So... buy local.

This started in MY city of residence. Thank you, thank you. Please, quit lauding me.

I am standing outside my tomato plants with a gun, in case you were wondering about the only safe tomatoes in Cruces.

maters got yer vittles danglin'

i wish I had a vegetable garden

I missed having tomatoes on my Jimmy John's sandwich today. :/

My tomatoes won't be in for some time.

A scientist explained on NPR yesterday why simple washing won't make the tomatoes safe: Salmonella could have entered into the tomato thru the stem-scar, if they were washed in contaminated water.

So this is probably why the cafe this morning had no tomatoes for my bagel with tomatoes that I eat every day. I went across the street to a less nice deli and bought some to add. Salmonella = loads of sick days home from work?

thank u libcrypt, I was wondering about that.

centralized mass-produced food distribution is the root cause here, we'll see more stuff like this until oil-based transport becomes too expensive (which should happen in, oh, five years at most).
