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 was on a ship when BBC World News broke the strawberry story. It would not have made any difference to me buying strawberries as I wash them and then depending on their size, cut them into quarters of eighths and eat them with ice cream. What sort of nut case does this act of stupidity anyway? I think, that although I don't eat a lot of fruit, I mainly cut it up so objects placed in the fruit would not cause me any harm.
