CBS/ AP) Salmonella food poisoning first linked to uncooked tomatoes has spread to 16 states, federal health officials said Saturday. Investigations by the Texas and New Mexico Departments of Health and the U.S. Indian Health Service have tied 56 cases in Texas and 55 in New Mexico to raw, uncooked, tomatoes
Poster Comment: We haven't been told yet these tomatoes are the product of Mexican stoop labor, but just like the fecal berries of past, you can bet your bottom peso they are. Bon appetite, to all the free trading traitors.

Bon appetite, to all the free trading traitors. It's getting harder and harder to find fresh produce grown in the USA. Even high end super markets now carry tomatoes and lettuce grown in Mexico, Central America, and fruit from Argentina. What has Argentina done for the Bushes or for the congresscritters to get this special free trade treatment? Did they send soldiers to Iraq or Afghanistan or something? What's in Argentina - oil? - what?
Brand new farmer's market opening tomorrow in a town 20 miles from my home. I'm particularly eager to buy local honey and eggs.
you might want to check to see if there's a vendor selling raw milk, cream, and cheese too.
We've got some Mennonite areas, so we may get some prepared foods as well.
You're very lucky...the Mennonite products are some of the best available...they run a few stores in east Tennessee that I always go out my way to visit...
I'm told they had a store where they sold their products some years back, but that it closed. Perhaps the energy crisis, etc., will facilitate a comeback.

Here the farmer's markets have made a big come back. 20 years ago there was one in an out of the way spot and now you can find one somewhere every day of the week, and there are couple of permanent produce stores that buy only from local farmers. Locally grown on family farms is the only way to go. It may cost a few bucks more but how much does a case of Salmonella cost?
