I'm assuming the US has tomato barons

the 6 a.m. CNN news said they had tested 100s of tomatos and did not find anything unhealthy. and they are wondering if it is something other then tomatos making people ill and dead. people are still getting sick.

so, now that the current tomato crop has been ruined for selling - I was wondering if a tomato baron had caught the displeasure of the neo cons?

that's what they said, but they still don't know what the reasonn is

this will be big news, obviously, if the report I heard on local Chicago newsradio this morning is true

As the number of cases in an ongoing salmonella outbreak climbed past 800 Friday, federal health officials said that they might never find the cause -- and that tomatoes might not be the culprit after all.

The news was greeted with resignation and a degree of anger from shoppers and growers who have seen millions of tomatoes taken off grocery shelves in the last month.

Of 1,700 domestic and international tomato samples collected for investigators so far, none has tested positive, said David Acheson, associate commissioner with the Food and Drug Administration.

Though fresh tomatoes have a "strong association" with many of the cases and remain a top suspect, he said health officials have not confirmed that the fruit carried the rare Salmonella Saintpaul strain.
