Tomato producers were hit hard. A few days ago it was thought to be from salsa...now jalapenos? I realize they must investigate by patterns but it’s getting ridiculous. All over, restaurants are posting no tomatoes...no salsa. No peppers will probably be up tomorrow. The ironic thing is that they are inadvertently going to make money by not having to purchase produce, unless they are giving the public a discount and when I ask I’m told ...no change in price.

At first not everyone was selling tomatoes, but some restaurants still did. Tumbleweed said they get their tomatoes from California, and their tomatoes were not affected. I didn’t eat the two slices in my salad just in case. I had a salad at Olive Garden the other night, and tomatoes were in it.

Doesn't it seem strange to you that after all this time the genius's at the CDC can't tell you if it is the tomatoes or the peppers.

Out of a population of 300 million people 200 got sick and that was enough to destroy the harvests of tomatoe growers all over Florida who watched their crops rot. Now it's up to 1000 and it turns out it may have had nothing to do with tomatoes after all.

This kind of hype and fear mongering makes me sick. How many people get salmonella every day from eating friedd chicken? What's it cause? A day or two of diarhea? Sheesh! We're becoming the big babies the nanny state wants us to be!
