I agree to buy from your local producers. I disagree with the jump right on the bad maters being from Mexico. I worked 8 years in the produce business and rarely saw a tomato from Mexico up in the northeast. Most were Florida in our off-season or Canadian hydroponics. I would guess the tainted tomatoes are from Florida and the salmonella is from a cleaning or hydrocooling process where tainted water was used, not human waste to grow them.
Nice contradiction as well... High fuel prices and people are going to pay to ship produce that needs to be refrigerated up through the hottest parts of the country? I think you will see a big shift to buy local because of the cost of fuel.
