CANTALOUPES!

The FDA just issued a cantaloupe recall for Honduran-grown cantaloupes. The recall was issued after 50 cases of salmonella connected with cantaloupe consumption were reported in 16 different states. The fruit comes from the grower Agropecuaria Montelibano. Cantaloupes from brands such as Chiquita and Dole are also involved in the recall. Honduras is fighting the recall, with the president Manuel Zelaya publically expressing his confidence in the safety of the Honduran export. According to CNN he said to reporters: "Here I have the box of melons. Permit me to make a demonstration." He then cut a piece a piece of fruit and ate some,saying: “I eat this fruit without any fear. It’s a delicious fruit. Nothing happens to me!” Personally, I'd stay away from the cantaloupe in Bruff for the next couple of weeks...
