Still No Word on Tomato Salmonella Outbreak

That’s the government for you. While investigating the outbreak of salmonella poisoning that has now made about 900 folks go rafting down the Hershey Rapids, the government managed to almost destroy the livelihoods of thousands of tomato farmers. Now the Feds tell us it might not actually be the tomatoes. Maybe its something else that people eat with tomatoes. Like Salsa? They just don’t know.

And from the official FDA site, there is a list of places that make good tomatoes. But the government helpfully neglects to tell anyone where the bad tomatoes are coming from.

I still stand by my previous assertion that this is caused by an “organic” farming outfit.
