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?

Fruit tampering had absolutely no impact on procurement or serving. We buy fruit at the markets and from the greengrocer and there has never been tampering and never will be (too less effect). Isn't it remarkable it has only been fruit and no vegetables? Whoever it is, the target seems to be people stuffing what they buy in plastic containers right into their mouth. So, if you cut up what you bought, you're safe, if you process it in any way, you're safe. We seem not be the target group.
