So, by now, the stories are everywhere about tomatoes carrying salmonella and now, today, it is also possibly linked to jalapeno and serrano peppers and possibly cilantro. The story always seems to be the same, some vegetable gives you food poisoning, but it nearly always ends up being produce from near some animal agriculture factory, with the barely-inspected fecal runoff going where it shouldn’t. But, it gives meat eaters the usual dodges they love… “you say meat will give me cancer, but spinach and tomatoes give you food poisoning.” It is nice that the animal agriculture industry finds a way to taint other products, too…
