Deadly tomatoes

People often ask what the point of serving local vegetables is if you can get non-local, but fresh and high quality vegetables for a fraction of the cost.

Although this question has many answers (keeping money in the community, for instance), very few things are as important as your health.

Boulder, unfortunately or not, has a LOT of restaurants. I don't know the exact numbers, but I know it's up there as far as per-capita restaurants in this country goes.

So when you go out at night, you have a lot of options, but at certain times not as many as you think.

Lately has been one of these times.

In case you haven't heard, it turns out that a large amount of tomatoes had been infected with the deadly salmonella bacteria, and once the tomatoes reach a restaurant, it's impossible to tell whether they're the infected ones or not.

Unless, of course, you're eating at a restaurant that buys their tomatoes locally!

Being able to trace the food you eat to the exact farm from whence it came, somewhere in Southern Colorado, confers many benefits ranging from quality to economics, but none more important than your
health.

So here's an organic, Colorado tomato bloody mary to your health!
