"Almost all vegetables are contaminated with something because they water them with sewer water"


"Rejected tomatoes flooding Mexican markets; Many there are unaware of salmonella scare" by Olga R. Rodriguez, Associated Press | June 13, 2008

MEXICO CITY - Export-quality tomatoes labeled "Ready to Eat" in English flooded Mexico City markets yesterday after a salmonella scare in the United States stopped them from crossing the border....

Sergio Martinez, a 40-year-old bricklayer buying 4.5 pounds of tomatoes, says he isn't worried about a little salmonella. He washes all of his produce with bleach and water.

"What the US doesn't want is what we see here. They always send the best stuff over there, from avocados to tequila," he said. "What ends up here is second-rate. Almost all vegetables are contaminated with something because they water them with sewer water and put on a lot of chemicals."

Oh man, not again!!!

Excuse me, readers!
