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?

I’m disgusted and disappointed with these so called “human beings” who take it upon themselves to tamper with fruit which could harm innocent people by making them extremely sick or even worse killing someone. They are just low lifes. Then they also stoop to drive away farmers by wrecking their crops. I do not bend down to their levels.

I will still buy fruit and wash it as I would normally do. I however have been buying most of my fruit from fruit shops and straight from the growers more than the big supermarkets. I vigilantly tell my kids to check their fruit before they eat it and cut strawberries up.
