I was able to get tomatoes on a sandwich today from Subway because they get them from local growers. Woo!

Our local farmers are banking off of this right now. The Farmer's Market downtown sold out of tomatoes in minutes from what I heard.

I'm telling you, the source is going to be a nearby chicken farm, not just somebody shitting in fields.  It's too widespread for that.
The Jerk On Bike rolled his eyes and tossed the waffle back over his shoulder--before it struck the ground, a stout, disconcertingly monkey-like dog sprang into the air and snatched it, and began to masticate it--literally--for the sound it made was like a homonculus squatting on the floor muttering "masticate masticate masticate".

We don't seem to be having any tomato issues on this coast.

All there were today were tomawts on da vine and cherry/grape tomatoes...no romas, no beefsteak...no "regoolair"...

They had all kinds of tomatoes at my grocery store.  I guess Maine dodged the Killer Salmon Tomatoe Bullet.  Or something like that.

Please to note: I wasn't saying anything specific about the tomatoes being contaminated with E.Coli, only making a blanket statement about things being banned.

I was aware it was Salmonella.

That is all.
