And timely enough, this article about salmonella afflicting our tomato supply.

I find it funny that they have to let us know that

"Cherry tomatoes, grape tomatoes, tomatoes sold with the vine still attached and homegrown tomatoes are likely not the source of the outbreak, federal officials said."

Are there really people out there afraid that their backyard tomatoes have somehow become infected with an intestinal bacteria? I think it's obvious that the Salmonella is being picked up somewhere along the industrial food logistics chain.

Heh - I think it's odd that the feds say the homegrown tomatoes are "likely" not the source. I'd expect that probability to be near 100%.
