In the Race

Now, here, you see, it takes all the blogging I can do to keep in the same place.
If I want to get somewhere else, I must blog twice as fast as that!
You see, I'm in the Red Queen's Race...

That and The Boy Who Cried Wolf...

How many other "stories" can we link to the salmonella crisis running amok?

Over 1000 people sickened now and still no confirmation as to where the origination of the bacteria is coming from? 

Could there be a carrier harboring the strain?

This is now the worst foodborne outbreak in a decade. 

A decade!

And the CDC doesn't have a clue?

Last week we were told raw tomatoes were okay again. 

They are back in restaurants and stores.

And today, again, we hear certain ones are suspicious.

Also, raw jalapeños are dangerous.

Maybe this isn't the food at all and it is deliberate and that's why they can't find the cause.

"The CDC acknowledges that for every case of salmonella confirmed to the government, there may be 30 to 40 others that go undiagnosed or unreported.

"The outbreak could actually be tens of thousands of people rather than 1,000 people," agreed Caroline Smith DeWaal of the consumer advocacy Center for Science in the Public Interest. "It's certainly a disturbing event to have this many illnesses spanning this many months."

Disturbing?

That's an understatement.
