Thinking about the recent news about fruit tampering (needles in strawberries, bananas, mangoes etc), what impact would you say it had on the way you purchase and consume fresh fruits?

The fruit tampering crisis has had no impact on my purchase of fresh fruit whatsoever. I continue to purchase all types of fruit and my system when purchasing fruit and vegetables is to wash thoroughly and cut it up. I have done this for years, as has my late Mother....Mum was my inspiration. If everybody took the time to deal with their produce in this way, there would be no problem. Of course, from time to time we grow some of our own and again, no problem. The underhanded low life people who tamper with food will not succeed if everyone is vigilant.
