Tomato, I guess you are free to go.

So the FDA has finally cleared all of the US’s tomatoes of any wrong doing. MSNBC reports:

“We still do not know where the original contamination point was,” David Acheson, assistant commissioner for food protection at the FDA, said in a conference call. Among later illnesses, there seems to be more evidence against peppers. The FDA is sending inspectors to Mexico to investigate a packing house that receives peppers from a number of farms.”

So, the tomato was like the OJ Simpson of vegetables this summer. I can just picture veggies like broccoli and corn around the country glued to their TV sets wondering if Tomatoes really did it or not. Looks like now we all know that Peppers are the real culprit. Those jerks. Shoulda known.
