Well if the EPA said that ........ wait, they are part of the GOVERNMENT. This is also the same GOVERNMENT that said - STOP, dont eat that tomato !!!!!!!
The Food and Drug Administration is expanding its warning to consumers nationwide that a salmonellosis outbreak has been linked to consumption of round tomatoes, and products containing these raw, red tomatoes.
Then Later in August -
The Food and Drug Administration declared on Thursday that it is again safe to eat all tomatoes now on sale in the U.S., canceling its warning in June that some tomatoes were the cause of a still-unsolved outbreak of salmonella poisoning..............................
restaurants and supermarkets pulled tomatoes from shelves and refrigerators; the halt in sales has cost an estimated $40 million in lost purchases.
So excuse me if I don't blindly accept the 5000 mile comparison just because the E.P.A. threw some numbers out there. I do accept that Spookytooth did actually test a HT engine and got the certificate.
arceeguy - that is a great way to look at things and sounds like a great deal of common sense as far as the big picture.

The FDA was acting in the public's interest to protect our health. It overreacted to err on the side of caution and then launched one of the largest investigations to verify the salmonella cause. Stuff happens and yes money was lost but you know what, my wife is still alive because she avoided raw foods while they figured out the investitation. An infection would kill her due to her current health condition. An infection helped her to lose all of her kidney function...that was from a bad strain fo E.Coli she got from a catered buffet.
The same people who in one instance slam the EPA for poor or inadequate methodology or question their numbers/conclusions have no problem accepting global warming as truth when the "theory" isn't even been validated by the computer modelling currently used.
The same conspiracy theory folks who don't trust the EPA or FDA want the same government to manage their retirement, educate their kids, and otherwise run their entire lives from cradle to grave.
Where is thetaxpayer bailout for the oil companies? Oil prices have fallen 20% in 2 months!
