I don't get it.



it's like the FDA is run by born again Christians or something. What ever happened to deductive reasoning?


Some food-poisoning experts say the CDC missed a key step in not taking those studies a step further and trying to trace why some of the healthy ate tomatoes without harm.

For now, the FDA continues to urge consumers nationwide to avoid raw red plum, red Roma or red round tomatoes unless they were grown in specific states or countries that the agency has cleared of suspicion. Check the FDA's Web site — http://www.fda.gov — for an updated list. Also safe are grape tomatoes, cherry tomatoes and tomatoes sold with the vine still attached.

That advice is coming under fire too because tomatoes are sent through multiple repacking and distribution sites around the country, even to Mexico and back, regardless of where they're grown. But Acheson said the advice would be fine-tuned only if new science emerges.

Hmm.. what do people eat fresh tomatoes with the most? Possibly meat and cheese? -Just saying...

How many people have to get sick before they pull their heads out?

Screw it. I'm eating tomatoes.




If I die of food poisoning, you have my permission to throw rotten tomatoes at my corpse.
