Evil Tomat...Jalap...Oh screw it, just BE AFRAID

The great and terrifying Salmonella has risen it's ugly head again. This time "experts" think it's from jalapenos. A couple of weeks ago it was tomatoes.

Anyone else finding this ri-god-damned-diculous? Remember that this jalapeno "warning" came out weeks ago? I'm sure that pulling jalapenos from shelves now will help a lot.

Oh and this just in; Cell phones cause cancer - again. Nevermind that this was "announced" about 15 years ago. Anyone have cancer from cell phones yet? Didn't think so.

I hate the press...

I love the "cell phones cause cancer" one. Really? How are you going to do the scientific due diligence with THAT? New cell phones put out like a watt or two of power.

Have you stood next to a microwave lately? You have? That puts out MAGNITUDES more. Have you worn headphones for your iPod? Again, more power. Sat in front of a CRT monitor or TV today?

I think the only thing that causes cancer here is the media. It's just as likely to be true and provable.

And in my world, there should ALWAYS be a warning on tomatoes that they're dangerous. ;-)
