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.

That parallels my thought before I even read your comment. Any place that allows the peons to piss in the field and crap between the rows is a place waiting to export disease. There is no human fecal matter on my 'maters, and I ain't hirin' Mexicans to pick'em.
See? Mexicans aren't the only thing from Mexico that are full of shit.
Years ago I went over to South Joysee to service some water treatment equipment and I ended up on a farm working in a migrant shack. I was ashamed to see how poorly maintained the place was. The American owners of that farm apparently held the workers in very low esteem, and the workers were apparently in no position to object to the conditions. The veggies from NJ are very popular and tasty. But, most are harvested by you-know-whats, and that means that there will always be a chance of a biological warfare sneak attack. We grow most of our on maters and other veggies during the season but in winter we've bought some. Maybe we'll start freezing and canning more and stop rolling the dice.

I hear you and I've seen just that both in NJ and here on the mushroom farms in PA. It isn't quite human slavery, but given the wages paid and living conditions offered, it comes close. Illegal immigration is a low wage gift to business, from the American government. My Mexican Polish joke aside, we need to look to DeeCee for the cause of the problem.
It's not very hard. Every year I think I need to can more next time. And the price of store bought...too too high.
There are lots of great gardening minds here at 4um...one of the reasons I like it so much. Perhaps it is a time for a 'survival gardening' ping list, or some such? A place to gather all those concepts and ideas?
We used to hang out at this little pond called Cole's Pitt when I was younger. That's all it was, too, a little pond only a miles drive from our little national homes subdivision. I recall many a night pretending to fish, drinking beer, and wondering how people could live in the little shacks across the pond. Seems like corn was the only crop grown around there anyway, like I said...weird.
