I try to buy organic and local when I can. Obviously bananas do not grow
here and for some reason our grapes are mostly from Mexico. I've seen
oranges from Australia.

Because the other two who live here are going camping this week, I opted not
to buy a box of produce. But they need to bring a lunch with them. So I
decided to get tomatoes and lettuce to put on the sandwiches.

The only organic tomatoes this store had were from Mexico. I sort of
thought twice before buying them because of this swine flu thing, but bought
them anyway.

But then someone I was talking to online freaked when I told him and said he
thought I shouldn't eat them.

Would you buy them? Would you eat them?

Of course I would eat them. I would wash them on the outside first,
though, like usual. That's not how swine flu is spread, from produce. It
is spread from people coughing in the air.

Is Swine flu transmitted on produce? I'd thought that it was
transmitted through contact.

I'd wash the tomatoes and then eat them.

I thought so too. But this person was so freaked out about it and kept
saying I shouldn't have bought them to begin with.

That's what I thought. This person is a lawyer and seems to be overly

Julie that person doesn't have a clue. Don't worry. Wash them and use
them as usual. The flu (of any kind) is not transmitted through meat or on
produce. It is transmitted from people sneezing and coughing droplets of
germy spray in the air. That is the same for all kinds of flu.

They may be smart about the law, but not about the flu or how it is
transmitted!

Peope freak out about all kinds of things. Have you noticed that the TV
keeps telling us that you can't get swine flu form eating pork? they do
this because idiots will think everything will be contaminated. that is
why helth officials are so hesitant to send out alerts. All kinds of
nuts strt worrying and filling up emergency rooms and phone lines, etc. I
suppose you should avoid someone whose Grandmother came from Mexico too.
that is the kind of thing that happens when people jump to conclucions.

You'd do better to avoid the grandmother right now, than the tomatoes. :-)

I don't get it, except for whatever is on the opening page of my ISP's
homepage.

The Swine Flu outbreak is all over the Internet News. AZ got it's first case
yesterday.....I knew it would hit here pretty soon as the border is just
down the road and we have Mexicans crossing it every day.

I didn't say anything about illegal's...We have allot of Mexicans that come
over the border to shop...visit Family... work, ect. The illegal's around
here (in the middle of the desert...dirt roads and all) just travel through,
they don't stop and visit. I believe the little boy that died in Texas was
visiting from Mexico.

I don't believe that at all. That's like saying that the left wingers are
spreading hysteria, and that's just not true either.

Krom, if you watch the ED show at 6PM on MSNBC he always features Bachman on
his "Psycho talk" segment. She is an absolute nut.

how my state re-elected her is beyound me.

she is not just nuts but divisive and dangerous..she is the sort to call for

politician.

Does anyone realize that the last time "swine flu" was an issue was during
the presidency of Gerold Ford, a Republican, not Jimmy Carter, a Demodrat?
I guess if you present false facts you cn prove anything:-(

yeah its silly..but scary part is some ONLY get thier information from these
type of people..no independant thought...

i remeber listening to rush years ago and at least back then he used to say
he was just entertainer and it was shctick to not be taken seriously...now
he is the gospel word to some people...real politicians parrot the rheteric
as if it is serious.

ahh well whatever im not gonna fight about it in the food group..lol

to bring it back on topic..you CANT get it from eating pork...how silly is
it they have to beg us to use the scientific name because people are too
dumb to understand this...that was the sort of silyness i was trying to
correct is all..
