Here we go again. First it was bad peanuts. Then we were told not to eat any number of products containing peanuts or peanut butter.

Now it’s pistachios.

Yesterday federal officials warned consumers not to eat any food product containing pistachios in still another salmonella scare.

The nation’s second-largest pistachio producer, Terra Bella Inc., of California, is voluntarily recalling more than 2 million pounds of the roasted nuts.

The feds aren’t telling people to throw anything out just yet, simply that they don’t eat them. They’re checking to see if the pistachios have been contaminated with the same bacteria that fouled the peanut crop.

Sure, we’ll just put them aside and then wolf them down as soon as the feds give the green light. How do you think that is going to work out? Yeah, that’s what I thought. In my house, all the peanut butter and my favorite peanut butter crackers went directly into the trash can as soon as that scare went public.

It can only spark one response: NUTS!!!
