I was sorry to hear about the salmonells scare associated with tomatoes this week.  It seems that every couple of months there is another scare about something bad happening with our foods!  This type of thing happening over and over again is very distressing.  What is wrong with the quality controls that are supposed to be in place?  Shouldn’t the FDA be on top of this kind of thing?  Aren’t there inspectors to keep this type of thing from happening?

My own family has been very lucky in that we have not had any direct negative effect from these food scares, but it is still very distressing that it is constantly happening.
