So what exactly is the problem here?

Can the FDA be that stupid that they can't figure out where the bad tomatoes are coming from? The tomatoes pictured here are good to go - nothing wrong with them. I love tomatoes. I never ate them until I met Mrs. Grumpy. She uses tomatoes in and on just about everything. And she's not even Italian - she's Dutch. My favorite is Jewish seeded rye (not Dutch) with a little salt "schmeered" with Miracle Whip and big, perfectly round wet, juicy tomato slices. Lots of people are getting sick from salmonella. Seems to me if I was on the case, it wouldn't take me long to find where the bad ones came from. Maybe the FDA should hire Colombo or Monk. The FDA has the entire US government behind it. They have millions of dollars of our tax money. The have unlimited resources. It's been about three weeks. They still don't have any clue. What is the problem? Can't this Bush administration do anything right? I'm not going to stop eating tomatoes. I'm going to rely on the establishments I go to like Subway to make sure what they put on my sandwich is safe. Because the FDA doesn't seem to be able to do the job. The photo credit is http://www.flickr.com/photos/64985383@N00/588108849/ The FDA's website is at http://www.fda.gov/
