Sept. 14 (UPI) -- Federal health officials reported several more cases of salmonella infections among four separate outbreaks linked to the consumption of yellow Maradol papayas.

As much as a lot of the world hates America, we would be wise to roll up the sidewalks and close the gates and be self supporting for a year.

We can grow the best corn on the planet and if nothing else, about a million products can be made with corn.

That and peanuts.

We don't need no steenking foreign food !

If we really, REALLY need something, we'll sell or trade natgas or oil for whatever we want.

WE ARE SO BADASS IT AIN'T FUNNY

WHY HAVEN'T WE ACTED LIKE IT YET ?

Thanks, Blueplum. I only buy ones from Hawaii at the higher end grocery stores. This is why.

pretty scary when a grower has multiple strains of toxic bacteria contaminating their fruit. One is bad enough!

I don’t know if there is truth to it but I have heard that human waste is sometimes used to fertilize farm fields in Mexico.

Sewage lettuce..... anyone??

Wash all fruit before cutting open.

I don’t eat Papayas, but I do have a mango once in a while.

Should also wash avocados, but I don’t.
