Have A Magic Tomato

Governmental double-speak:

MEXICO CITY - Export-quality tomatoes labeled "Ready to Eat" in English flooded Mexico City markets on Thursday after a salmonella scare in the U.S. trapped them south of the border.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has warned consumers against three types of raw tomatoes that have sickened 167 people in 17 states since mid-April. It has not pinpointed the outbreak's source, but cleared imports from six countries _ though not from Mexico, which supplies 80 percent of tomatoes imported into the U.S.

The government "has not pinpointed the outbreak's source". What nonsense. Governmental flunkies - and the bobbleheaded simpletons in the media - would have us believe that tomatoes just magically appear on our supermarket shelves, that there are no trucking records, no warehouse records, no shipping orders, no nothing.

So they have cleared six nations as suspects. Perhaps places like Iceland, Afganistan and North Korea? What double talk.

It is likely that your local Wal-Mart grocer does not know where his tomatoes came from, other than the nearest Wal-Mart warehouse, but those persons up and down the supply chain responsible for wholesale ordering and shipping certainly do.

If the government is stalling on telling us where the present salmonella outbreak originated, then suspect an attack on our food supply, perhaps a test run to see how unprotected and vulnerable we really are.
