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.
