What's in YOUR Tomato?



Nobody Flashes Anymore!

So---You think that tomato that you dumped out of your Taco Bell Taco today might have had your name on it? Did you skip your favorite Burger King Whopper and just got the double order of fries for lunch, minus the Ketchup?

Were you afraid to tell your wife the real reason you didn't eat her leftover tomato and pasta recipe from grandma?

Do you wonder just what this kid did to grow this tomato? Does he have a Mexican cousin staying with him who likes to go outside at night into the family garden when the family restroom is being hoarded by his sisters?

And are you the kind of American who thinks this scare will be over soon, and besides, you're not scared because you happen to have the intestinal fortitude of the Jolly Green Giant?

Well...think again Tomato Head!

According to this guy, who should know, this is not the first time that the American people have suffered from salmonellosis by eating tomatoes here in America...oh no...

  • Here's a list of people harmed by Tomatoes so far---
  • 1990---174 people were attacked.
  • 1993--- 84 (salads were not yet mandatory for fat people)
  • 1999----86 (the same tomato loving people, two got married.)
  • 2002---141, in 32 states! Unfortunately---all these people had gone to the same
  • party in Orlando...the U.S. Transplant Games. Who needed
  • intestinal transplants when they got home, so it was a good thing
  • it wasn't a party for the FDA or they would not have lived.
  • 2002---404, people got sick in 22 states. Fortunately, the media rushed out with
  • the pictures of Iraq's being tortured scandal, or McDonald's
  • might have suffered a quarterly report.
  • 2004---564, I think Brittany Spears was at this party.
  • 2006---100, plus another 183, in 19 states.
  • 2007---500, but it's only June! Just think what this might do if Obama refuses to eat one!
I don't know about you...but news does travel slow, doesn't it? I wonder when they are going to tell us that all the pickles are filled with ebola? 2012?
