I love cantaloupe and also yogurt, but don't think I'd care for both
together. The only "salmonella issue" I've ever heard with cantaloupe
was when a person cut it and didn't refrigerate it, but left it out at
room temperature. We buy them all the time, cut them in half, scoop out
the seeds and enjoy. Love having a half of one with toast for breakfast,
or a snack. We don't EAT the rind, and have yet to get sick from eating
the "insides" of a melon.

That's the only kind we buy anymore, and are never disappointed..they
are always sweet 'n' juicy. Had one last week, that was a small
"personal size" watermelon and was delicious and sweet. They were 2 for
$6, so gave one to our daughter and she said it was delicious also.
