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?

There is someone out there with a very sick mind. I mean like how could you think up something like that?
Like everyone else I do cut the strawberries and check them, but I have always cut them strawberries. It feels like they seem to last longer doing that. With the buying, well it is making me buy more punnets of strawberries than I was. With the drought up here in Queensland and how the farmers are struggling we can't let the same thing happen to the strawberry farmers as well. So I say do what us Australians always do when someone is in trouble, support our Aussie farmers and do the opposite thing what these very sick minded people want us to do and buy more not less strawberries and fruit.
