Thread: They are awfully quiet about the tainted tomatoes?

Maybe they just hope we forget? We don't want to offend anyone.

Yeah we couldn't possibly blame Mexico or mexicans deficating on the crops before they pick em, that would just make too much sense!!

But we must all pander to their pooooor poooor feelings and wanting and wishing of a better life here where they can deficate on our crops too!! Come on all you racists out there they just want to work!

I just saw on fox that the brilliant people we have in charge are now saying that the illness could have been caused by something other than tomatos.

What a spineless bunch of traders,they all should be fired and deported to mexico a.s.a.p. !

There's news about it on Drudge. Here's the link:

It is rather strange how they are dealing with this. Either they are covering things up to not offend, at a huge cost to our own growers or they are literally morons. Either way people are still getting sick and it's a huge loss for yet more of our businesses.

OH PLEASE. NOW THEY ARE SAYING IT IS NOT THE TOMATOES? THEY MAKE ME SO MAD. THE COMMON DENOMINATOR WAS TOMATOES. EVERYONE WHO GOT SICK HAD EATEN TOMATOES. NOW IT ISNT THE TOMATOES? THEY JUST DONT WANT TO SAY THEY WERE MEXICAN TOMATOES. THEY DONT WANT TO SAY IT PURE AND SIMPLE.

That's right, or their precious NAFTA would just come crashing down. They're putting NAFTA in front of our citizens' health. Traitors, idiots--every one of them.

This is the exact reason they have not enforced labeling the origin of every fruit and veggie we buy.

They think we are stupid but by denying they know anything has only confirmed where the contaminated tomatoes came from. Moral of the story, If your produce is not labeled country of origin don't buy it!

Isn't there some way to read the numbers on barcodes to view the country of origin?

I don't know the answer to that, will ask my daughter she is a scan co ordinator for a major grocery chain....but there is no bar code on most of our produce.
