Speaking of tomatoes, it appears there's something rotten in Denmark...uh, Sacramento and Minnesota.
WASHINGTON (AP) -- A federal investigation into possible food price-fixing has been expanded to include two major industries, tomato processing and egg products.
The Justice Department confirmed Tuesday that prosecutors are conducting separate inquiries into whether the tomato and egg industries engaged in anticompetitive practices.
Federal prosecutors also have been looking at possible price-fixing in the citrus industry for at least a year.
All the more reason to grow your own tomatoes. And, maybe, to have your own chickens. That way you'll know you're getting fresh food for the price you're paying. Growing tomatoes doesn't have to be expensive, although if it is, then maybe you can write a book about it, like in The $64 Tomato.
